Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the subject is to show the genetical and molecular mechanisms of plant host and pathogen interactions in the context of phytopathology and plant breeding for resistance to biotic factors.
After attending the course student will be able to explain molecular and genetical principles of plant host and pathogen interactions, its use in plant breeding and phytopathological studies.
