| The application of the biological knowledge in disease control will also be covered, in particular disease resistance and biological control. The precise content of the course will reflect the interests and needs of the participating students. Recent relevant publications within plant and microbial physiology, biochemistry, ecology, microbiology, molecular biology and pathology will be evaluated and discussed. Topics offered in 2012 include the following: David B. Collinge Is it really possible to make transgenic disease resistant plants? David B. Collinge Fusarium interactions with cereals Hans Jørgen Lyngs Jørgensen Induced resistance in plants Hans Thordal-Christensen Plant pathogen defence signalling Jørgen Eilenberg Concepts of pathogenicity and virulence Mari-Anne Newman Plant Innate Immunity. Michael Lyngkjær or Gowda Rayapuram DUF26 protein kinases in plant stress responses Michael Lyngkjær Climate change and plant health Nicolai Vitt Meyling Tritrophic interactions between plants, fungi and insects Carsten Pedersen effectors Yumiko Sakuragi or Majse Nafisi The role of plant cell walls in plant defence Gunter Backes From resistance genes to healthy varieties - does it work?

| A level: Weekly tutorials, lectures and seminars based on selected literature including scientific review articles and primary papers as specified in the course curriculum. In some cases practical demonstrations. Choice, preparation and presentation of selected topics by the participants will be emphasised. Active participation in seminars and oral presentation of seminar topics during the course is required and will be assessed. preparation of research seminar, journal club and lecture B level: In addition to the above, a term paper is prepared on a topic relevant to research studies | |||||||||||
| Målbeskrivelse | |||||||||||
| The participants will be trained in critical evaluation of research papers and in considering research results in a broader perspective by discussing the papers in a forum of expertise within very different plant-microbe interactions. This course is particularly relevant to PhD students working with plant diseases and plant symbioses. | |||||||||||
