Växtpatologi
Information från kursledaren
The course provides the students with in-depth knowledge of the key principles and biological processes governing disease development in plants, with a unique perspective on the interactions between plants and pathogens on a variety of integration levels (i.e: from the subcellular to the population scale). Based on a balanced and diversified combination of lectures, theoretical exercises, field work, and laboratory practicals, the students will acquire important knowledge, skills, and tools they can utilize in the field of plant pathology. Bi1044 is an advanced course at the forefront of research in plant pathology that addresses future challenges at the basic, translational, and applied levels. This course is designed for advanced, career-oriented students (academia, industry, government) with a special interest in plant diseases and plant protection.

Mål
After completion of the course the students should be able to:
comprehensively describe and compare the organisms that cause disease on plants (including their biology and taxonomic relationships)
explain the ecological basis for studying plant diseases
explain the interactions between plants, plant pathogens and their environment on a variety of integration levels from cells to communities.
analyse the development of plant diseases using population dynamics and epidemiological principles, correlate this development to different regulating factors such as climate, cultural techniques and other organisms in the agricultural or production landscape, and apply this information to reduce damage to crops and plants in different systems.
search for and evaluate information within the subject area and to present this information both in written and oral form.
Innehåll
The course covers fungi, bacteria, virus, and nematodes (and other plant disease causing entities) as organisms and their interactions with plants. This includes:
Definition of terms and concepts in plant pathology
Identification of diseases as well as diagnosis of damage
Identification of pathogens
Interactions between plants and pathogens – infection processes, signaling, defense, biological interactions
Population dynamics, epidemiology, and forecasting
Loss due to diseases—quality, food safety aspects (mycotoxins), quantitative losses, post-harvest losses, economical aspects of plant disease.
Life cycles/disease cycles and environmental requirements in relation to interactions between plants and their pathogens.
Ecological principles of disease control
Management strategies for control of diseases
Different aspects of disease control such as ecological principles, management strategies, (including cultural practices, host plant resistance, and use of pesticides) and legislation.
Physiological damage and nutritional deficiencies
Evolutionary processes in plant pathosystems
Diseases in natural pathosystems
Nature conservation, legislation, and international aspects.
Literature searching, oral and written presentations, and problem solving serve as an introduction to the masters programme in Plant biology.
Betygsformer
Kraven för kursens olika betygsgrader framgår av betygskriterier, som ska finnas tillgängliga senast vid kursstart.Examinationsformer och fordringar för godkänd kurs
Approved oral or written examinations and approved laboratory and exercise reports. Participation in compulsory elements.
- Examinatorn har, om det finns skäl och är möjligt, rätt att ge en kompletteringsuppgift till den student som inte blivit godkänd på en examination.
- Om studenten har ett beslut från SLU om riktat pedagogiskt stöd på grund av funktionsnedsättning, kan examinatorn ge ett anpassat prov eller låta studenten genomföra provet på ett alternativt sätt.
- Om denna kursplan läggs ned, ska SLU besluta om övergångsbestämmelser för examination av studenter, som antagits enligt denna kursplan och ännu inte blivit godkända.
- För examination av självständigt arbete (examensarbete) gäller dessutom att examinatorn kan tillåta studenten att göra kompletteringar efter inlämningsdatum. Mer information finns i utbildningshandboken.
Övriga upplysningar
- Rätten att delta i undervisning och/eller handledning gäller endast det kurstillfälle, som studenten blivit antagen till och registrerad på.
- Om det finns särskilda skäl, har studenten rätt att delta i moment som kräver obligatorisk närvaro vid ett senare kurstillfälle. Mer information finns i utbildningshandboken.
