Course Description & Objectives:

This course will consist of interactions between plants and their pathogenic microorganisms, the molecular and physiological responses of organisms, molecular mechanism of spread of pathogens in their hosts, chemicals toxic to herbivores.

Learning Outcomes:

At the end of the course, a student should be able to:

discuss the interactions between plants and pathogenic microorganisms,
describe modes of interactions between plants and non-pathogenic microbes,
explain molecular and physiological responses of organisms to pathogenicity,
explain the molecular mechanism of spread of pathogens in their hosts,
predict possible consequences at ecosystem level of a host-microbe interaction
identify, classify and describe plant compounds toxic to herbivores.
