Course objectives
This course connect plant ecology (typical host) with ecology of fungi and microorganisms (the most common pathogens). Relations between hosts and parasites are analysed, including their interactions and dependence on environmental conditions. Based on the introductory general part, particular cases of the most important plant pathogens (mainly of cultivated plants) are described in the second part of the course.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this course, the student is able:
- to describe the infection process and its relation to environmental conditions, predispozitions of the pathogen and options of host defense;
- to identify common diseases of local cultivated plants.
