Research interest.
Dr. Seloame Tatu Nyaku's research interest is in host-plant interactions and application of integrated control measures for management of nematode and fungal pathogens on plants, including indigenous crop species. His current research focuses on the application of grafting techniques utilizing nematode-resistant root-stocks for nematode and fungal control, together with imploring useful rhizosphere microorganisms and nutrient-rich biodegradable matrix for crop protection against yam nematodes. Additionally he is exploring the utilization of Microbial plants extract (MPE) formulations for integrated bio-control of plant diseases and pests. Other areas of interest include, designing Real-Time PCR assays, and analyzing data from multiple sources including complex whole genome, transcriptome, and population genomics through the usage of bioinformatics tools available from numerous public and private sources.
