Phytopatological Biotechnology deals with the most innovative, molecular and -omics aspects of the plant pathology finalized to find sustainable solutions to challenge plant pathogens hence reducing pesticides and fungicides. The course programme gathers these aspects in 5 main pillars:
1.Knowing
the genetic and molecular biology of viroidal, viral and microbial pathogens
the genetic and molecular biology of viroidal, viral and microbial pathogens
2.Understanding
the basis of the plant-microbe interactions at molecular level: recognition,
modulation of defences, modulation of virulence factors

3.Going
