The course gives a hands on introduction to specific advanced methods in plant pathology such as: 

• The use of fluorescent reporters with filamentous fungi (fungal transformation and advanced microscope techniques) (bje/hjo)

• Plant disease diagnostics based on symptoms, pathogen morphology, diagnostic keys and taxonomy (hjo/bje)

• Molecular plant disease diagnostics (bje/hjo)

• Methods used for studying induced resistance (hjo)

• Methods in biological control

  • Screening and evaluation of Biological Control Agents (BCAs) (meni/bje)

  • Monitoring for BCAs in the environment (meni)

• Real time PCR for studying Plant-microbe interactions (mari/dbc)

• Gene knock-out in fungi and their effects on interactions with plants or other organisms (htc)

These techniques are taught in specific modules. 

Normally a student will chose one of these modules but may combine as appropriate.

The course gives a hands on introduction to advanced methods in plant pathology of direct relevance for the individual research project.
