| Eksamen | Sluteksamen skriftlig og mundtlig eksamen Portfolio eksamen Alle hjælpemidler tilladt Beskrivelse af eksamen: From total eight exercises six have to be submitted and will be evaluated during the course. Furthermore, a paper on a selected plant pathological issue including evaluation of disease control strategies must be submitted, and presented by groups or individuals at a final oral examination. The exercises, together with the paper and the oral presentation will form the basis for the final assessment.

| Kompetenceområder | |||||||||||||||||
| Competencies within basic science: - An comprehension of the disease cycle including all stages of pathogen invasion and later development, leading to dispersal and epidemics. Competencies within applied science: - Suggest adequate principles of management of plant diseases based on knowledge of the pathogens and their interaction with the host. Competencies within ethics and values: - Awareness of the potential ethical problems arising during control of plant diseases, for example human and environmental hasards | |||||||||||||||||
| Kursets målsætning | |||||||||||||||||
| The course aims at a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of infection, the establishment in the host from a physiological & histological viewpoint, and interactions at the individual and population level. Furthermore a comprehension of proper management strategies, based on knowledge of the disease cycle. | |||||||||||||||||
| Kursusindhold | |||||||||||||||||
| The students are expected to gain a broad biologically based comprehension of disease development and management strategies. The course plan will be based on a selection among the following issues which demonstrate different aspects of infection and population biology and disease management: · Infection paths, establishment and transmission · Ntritional strategy of different taxonomic groups of pathogens (examples: virus, bacteria, fungi in the broad sense, seed plants), · Disease resistance as expressed by the host plant at the cellular and histological level, and the effect of constitutive and active factors on the pathogen and disease development. · Selected disease cycles . Inoculum sources and their relative importance. Seed pathology. . Pathogen population dynamics and forces involved in population changes. . Pathogen and vector dispersal patterns and the importance of disease management. . Interactions between wild and crop pathosystems. Overview: Disease management using different strategies In detail: Management by host resistance including race specific and race-non specific resistance, mixtures, gene deployment in time and space and other diversification schemes. Furthermore management by cultural precautions. | |||||||||||||||||
