| The course gives a hands on introduction to new and advanced methods in plant pathology such as: * the use of fluorescent reporters for interaction studies with filamentous fungi (fungal transformation and own studies using advanced microscope techniques exploiting the fluorescent reporters) * Plant disease diagnostics based on symptoms, pathogen morphology, diagnostic keys and taxonomy * Plant disease diagnostics based on molecular methods such as specific PCR, PCR finger printing, cross hybridization, ITS sequencing and the use of relevant bioinformatic tools *PCR characterization of microorganisms *Methods used for studying Induced Resistance including microsopy, real-time PCR and HPLC Course Work Load: The work load depends on the module size, for 6 ECTS it will be: 30- 60 h Literature studies and preparation 60 h Supervision 10 h presentation of report 10 h Preparation of report 40 h Total 150-180 hours Modules can be combined | |||||||||||||
