Pathology and Pathological Disorders

Molecular Plant Pathology

Molecular Plant Pathology is dedicated to the study of genetics of the plant species, the molecular aspects related to the interactions between plants and microbes and the molecular mechanisms which are responsible for the pathogenesis in plants. This type of study includes molecular approach for the research of plant diseases, their causing agents and plant-pathogen interactions. Research in this field has provided information on newest findings in molecular pathogenesis, epidemiology, genetic and evolution of plant pathogenic microorganisms. The experiments and methods involve molecular detection and characterization of plant pathogens together with investigations on molecular variability and phylogeny through the practical approach.
