Course objective Passive resistance existing in plants before infections, active resistance occuring in plants after infections, "compatible" and "incompatible" plant-pathogen interactions
Course description Triggering of defense mechanisms and reactions before infections in plants with utilization of abiotic and biotic inducers.

Course contents
1 Structural and biochemical mechanisms by host-pathogen interactions
2 Existing (passive) resistance and infestation induced (active) resistance in plants
3 Morphological and chemical properties of plant in passive defense (structural characters like cuticle, stoma, cell wall)
4 Localised cell death, (HR; Hypersensitive reaction), lignification and papilla formation, synthesis of pathogenesis related proteins, synthesis and accumulation of phytoalexins
5 compatibility and incompatibility in plants (gen-vs-gen theory)
6 Genetical engineering techniques used against development of resistant plants against fungi, bacteria and viruses
7 ISR and SAR mechanisms
8 Enzym and toxins produced by defence mechanisms
9 Plant applications and evaluation.
