Aim and content
Content
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 (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.

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

Literature

Individual for specific modules.

Teaching and learning methods
Apprenticeship in a research group, literature discussion, data analysis and interpretation.

Lecturers
Birgit Jensen (bje@plen.ku.dk)
Hans Thordal-Christensen (htc@plen.ku.dk )
