- Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)
-
Building on basic knowledge from the VO Molecular Biology of Plants Pathogen Interaction, the current literature on the topic will be introduced - focusing on the interaction of fungi with plants.
The participants will get an overview about recent developments in the field of phytopathology, emerging methods and research questions.
