Kursusindhold
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
