Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Main themes
This course is composed of four parts corresponding to the main biotic plant pathogenic agents: bacteria, fungi, nematodes and viruses. The main topics are as follows:
- a) Bacteria: structure and composition of plant pathogenic bacteria, genetic determinants, toxins and physiological effects, bacteriocins and phages, control strategies including bactericides, antibiosis, biotechnological strategies.
- b) Fungi: structural and biochemical characteristics of pathogenic fungi, vegetative growth, typical life cycle, diversity and evolution, plant-pathogenic fungi interaction (infection strategies, gene for gene interaction, pathogenesis, plant defense mechanisms.
-c) Nematodes: anatomic and morphological characteristics, typical examples and their control strategies.
-d) Viruses: typical life cycle, viral genome, classification, movement within the plant, virus vector interaction, transmission, interference with host plant, pathogenesis.
