Kursusindhold
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 2010 include the following. A total of ten topics will be offered:

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
Jan Sørensen cyclic lipopeptides in biological control
Jørgen Eilenberg Concepts of pathogenicity and virulence
Lisa Munk Using disease resistance
Mari-Anne Newman / Gitte Erbs Plant Innate Immunity.
PAMPs (pathogen associated molecular patterns) & PPRs (pattern recognition receptors) : Structures, perception and elicitation
Michael Lyngkjær Single cell systems for studying defence responses
Michael Lyngkjær/Gowda Rayapuram Climate change and plant health
Ole Lund Seed borne viruses
Yumiko Sakuragi The role of plant cell walls in plant defence
 
Undervisningsform
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.
