Biography
Senior researcher at the Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research (NIBIO, Div. Biotechnology and plant health). PhD in plant molecular biology (2002). Main research interests: plant-pathogen interactions, plant defense responses and bioprospecting. My research (with co-operation in Norway and abroad) has focused on anatomical and molecular resistance mechanisms in trees. This include how and where defense compounds act, which cell types and tissue regions are involved in their production as well as the molecular and genetic mechanisms behind. I am currently leading a project focusing on identifying chemical defense compounds in white rot spruce, with health application perspective. In addition to cell molecular biology, I have broad experience in microscopy techniques as light- and electron microscopy, laser micro dissection and imaging.
Abstract
Key implications for ash regeneration Natural regeneration of ash is still extensive in Fjugstad. Transition into the tree layer is a critical bottleneck under high disease pressure. Local moisture, light environment, growth rate and infection pressure may influence seedling performance. Dense shrub-layer ash with apparently healthy individuals may be useful targets for monitoring and conservation-oriented management. Continued spatial monitoring can identify microsites and individual trees with potential for future ash persistence. Integrate GNSS-based spatial data with moisture and light variables and follow effects of windthrow and canopy opening on new ash regeneration.

Abstract
Artikkelen tar for seg det økende problemet med rotråte i norsk granskog og spør om det er mulig å avle fram gran med bedre motstandskraft. Gjennom forskningsprosjektet Frisk Skog kombineres genetiske analyser, feltforsøk og data fra hogstmaskiner for å forstå variasjonen i råteresistens og utvikle mer presise verktøy for skogplanteforedling. Samtidig løftes praktiske råd for skogeiere, som bruk av Rotstop, skånsom drift og mer målrettet planting, som viktige tiltak for å redusere tap her og nå.
