Course content
|
1. Introduction, causal agents of plant diseases, process of infection. 2. Distinguished personalities of phytopathology, plant diseases significant for mankind, trends of actual phytopathological research in the world. 3. Host-pathogen interactions, mechanisms of pathogenicity, mechanisms of plant resistence. 4. Pathogen recognition by the host, oxidative stress, ROS and RNS signaling. 5. Plant hormones and other signaling substances in defense. Induced resistance in plants (LAR, SAR, ISR, SIR, MIR) 6. Induced resistence - history of the research and use in plant protection. 7. Chemical plant protection - drugs, active substances, sensitivity changes in populations of fungal pathogens to fungicides. Biological control - the impact of the application of living organisms or their products for plant resistance to pathogens. Integrated crop protection. 8. Symptoms of the disease, pathological anatomy and cytology of plants. 9. Phytopathometry. Evaluating incidence of the disease. Epidemiology, influence of environmental conditions on the occurrence of pathogens, meteorology, forecasting models, remote sensing. 10. Phenotypic and molecular methods of studying pathogenic variability in populations of pathogens. Molecular markers of susceptibility and resistance, their use in breeding. 11. Case Study: Peronosporales "downy mildews" 12. Case Study: Erysiphales "powdery mildews" (Selected phytopathological topics in English - oral presentations of foreign lecturers)
