Course Goal / Objective
This course covers concepts related to plant-parasite-environment interactions and disease resistance, underlining the main plant pathogen groups (Fungi, bacteria, viruses and nematodes). The most recent literature on plant-parasite-environment interactions will be targeted during this course.
Course Content
Gene for gene theory, resistance gene management and evolution of new strains, molecular mechanisms of resistance, symbiosis; genetics of pathogen population structure; horizontal transfer of pathogenicity determinants; and emergence of new diseases, Plant defense, Physiological, molecular mechanisms underlying pathogen development and virulence factors Plant virus-host-interactions, mechanisms used by viruses to cause diseases in plants Interaction of plant parasitic nematodes with plants Plant disease resistance mechanisms, pyramiding of R-genes, Interpreting, evaluating and constructive criticism of scientific writings.
Course Precondition
No prerequisites
Resources
Fungal disease resistance in plants biochemistry molecular biology and genetic engineering, Disease resistance in crop plants molecular genetic and genomic perspectives, Molecular Aspects of Plant Disease Resistance, Mechanisms of resistance to plant diseases
Notes
Molecular Aspects of Plant Disease Resistance, Mechanisms of resistance to plant diseases
