-
1.00 Credits
No course description available.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Original research in plant pathology.
-
3.00 Credits
Fundamental concepts and current status of research on the physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology of host-pathogen interactions during plant disease. Topics include recognition, penetration and colonization, pathogenicity and virulence determinants, resistance mechanisms, sign transduction, programmed cell death, and other current topics. Information presented in context of virual-, bacterial-, fungal-and nematode-plan interactions.Credit cannot be received for both PP 507 and PP 707
-
3.00 Credits
This course will introduce nonparametric and model-based methods for making inferences on population processes (mutation, migration, drift, recombination, and selection). The goal is to provide a conceptual overview of these methods and hands-on training on how to implement and interpret the results. Sample data sets in computer laboratories will integrate summary statistic, cladistic, coalescent, and bayesian approaches to examine population processes in different pathosystems with specific emphasis on eukaryotic microbes, viruses and bacteria.
-
3.00 Credits
Current status of molecular biology of plant infecting viruses. Recognition, infection, replication, regulation, expression, genome organization, encapsidation, resistance, silencing and transmission. Molecular approaches to virus disease control and development of plant viral vector and expression systems.
-
3.00 Credits
An interdisciplinary course primarily focusing on the interactions between soil organisms and their environment, and the ecological consequences of these diverse complex interactions. A broad range of topics, including soil biodiversity, plant-microbial interactions, trophic interactions, energy flow and nutrient cycling, and microbial controls over plant and ecosystem responses to natural and anthropogenic perturbation (e.g, tillage or global change components) are addressed.
-
3.00 Credits
In-depth study of ecology of soilborne fungal and bacterial pathogens inducing root and wilt diseases in plants. Concepts and principles including but not limited to the rhizosphere, inoculum potential, soil fungistasis, survival, root disease models and biological control.
-
3.00 Credits
Basic concepts of genetics and physiology of fungi, with emphasis on saprophytic and plant pathogenic mycelial fungi. Current literature on evolution, cell structure, growth and development, gene expression, metabolism, sexual and asexual reproduction and incompatibility systems. Laboratory exercises on mutant isolation, sexual and parasexual analysis, genetic transformation, and RFLP and isozyme analysis.
-
2.00 Credits
Concept-oriented approach to an understanding of host-parasite genetic interactions from molecular through population levels. In-depth consideration of gene action, gene-for-gene interactions, co-evolution, pathogen virulence, host defense, gene flow in populations and other current topics.
-
2.00 Credits
Theory and principles of breeding for pest resistance. Experimental approaches for examining genetics of host-parasite interactions, expression and stability of pest resistance and breeding strategies for developing pest-resistant cultivars.
