Faculty of Science
An introduction to the molecular interactions that occur between plants and their microbial symbionts, within the context of both beneficial and pathogenic associations between host and symbiont. This course will examine the basis of plant immunity, and the mechanisms by which micro-organisms such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes subvert, evade, or co-opt host defence responses to enable colonization. Offered in alternate years.
