Växt-mikrobinteraktioner

I kursen behandlas interaktionerna mellan växter och mikrober på översiktlig och detaljerad nivå för både patogena och symbiotiska interaktioner. Infektionsmekanismer, växternas försvar, stressresponser och ett stort antal viktiga problem inom jord-, trädgårds- och skogsbruk berörs. Exempel hämtas från pågående forskning vid SLU och presenteras av forskarna själva. Ämnesområden som behandlas är:



  • infektionsmekanismer; vidhäftning; patogeneffektorer; toxiners och andra ämnens roll; invasion av växtvävnad; subversion av värdcellens biologi



  • upprättande av symbiotiska relationer (mykorrhiza, rhizobium)



  • växters samspel med mikrobiomet och dess effekt på växters tillväxt och hälsa



  • resistensreaktioner mot angrepp av växtpatogener (inkl. nematoder) och insekter; gen-för-geninteraktioner; igenkänning av patogener; inducerad resistens; icke-värdväxtresistens



  • ekologiska konsekvenser av resistens mot och mottaglighet för patogener och skadeinsekter på populationsnivå



  • likheter och skillnader mellan försvarsresponser till abiotiska och biotiska stimuli




Kursen består av föreläsningar, laborationer (obligatoriskt), seminarier (obligatoriskt), projektarbete (obligatoriskt), övningsuppgifter, självstudier, examination och utvärdering


Information från kursledaren

Welcome to the Plant-Microbe Interactions course!

The course starts on Monday, November 2, 2021 at 9:15 am in the PRIMA room at the Ultuna library. A preliminary course schedule can be found at the SLU course page (BI1354). The course is organized partly in cooperation with the University of Helsinki and the lectures will be given by lecturers from Sweden or Finland via ZOOM. The "discussions of study questions" will be organised as "on-campus" activities. In addition, the course consists of a laboratory practical in a research group, a computer exercise and a literature project. We are looking forward to seeing you soon.

PLANT-MICROBE INTERACTIONS BI1354, 15 HEC, GRADING CRITERIA

Objectives

After completion of the course the student is expected to be able to:

  1. comprehensively discuss interactions between plants and pathogenic fungi, bacteria and viruses as well as the defence reactions of the host plant (biotic stress)
  2. comprehensively discuss interactions between plants and non-pathogenic/symbiotic bacteria and fungi
  3. create hypotheses for why plants and microbes react in certain ways in pathogenic and symbiotic interactions
  4. demonstrate the ability independently to interpret scientific results to understand regulation and responses in plant-microbe interactions
  5. demonstrate the ability to use knowledge about plant-microbe interactions in the control of plant diseases and to stimulate plant growth
  6. demonstrate insight into the consequences, on population and ecosystem level, of compatible and incompatible interactions

Grade 3

Objectives 1, 2, 3, 6: The student is able to give a general description of interactions between plants and pathogenic or non-pathogenic/symbiotic microbes, including fungi, bacteria and viruses.

Objective 4: The student is able to write a lab report containing interpretation and discussion of scientific results to understand regulation and responses in plant-microbe interactions.

Objective 5: The student is able to use knowledge about plant-microbe interactions in the control of plant disease and to stimulate plant growth.

Grade 4

Objectives 1, 2, 3, 6: The student is able to give a detailed description of interactions between plants and pathogenic or non-pathogenic/symbiotic microbes, including fungi, bacteria and viruses.

Objective 4: The student is able to write a lab report containing interpretation and discussion of scientific results to understand regulation and responses in plant-microbe interactions. The student is able to write the report within a given time frame.

Grade 5

Objectives 1, 2, 3, 6: The student is able to give a detailed description of interactions between plants and pathogenic or non-pathogenic/symbiotic microbes, including fungi, bacteria and viruses, in a way that shows a deeper understanding of the subject.

Objective 4: The student is able to write a lab report with limited supervision containing interpretation and discussion of scientific results to understand regulation and responses in plant-microbe interactions. The student is able to write the report within a given time frame.

Litteraturlista

  1. Course literature Kommentar: There is no specific book covering all the topics of the course. Each lecturer will recommend 1-2 articles or book chapters as literature. The articles will be available through the SLU library or the CANVAS course homepage.
  2. Preparatory reading Kommentar: If you have not studied plant pathology previously, we would suggest having a look into the introductory chapters in the book of G.N. Agrios: Plant Pathology, 5th edition, Academic Press, 2005 (pages 1-353). Also, for those lacking a background in molecular genetics, we recommend a general text book such as “Essentials of Genetics” by Klug, Cummings and Spencer, Palladino, 9th edition 2016.
  3. Literature project Kommentar: The project work will be a literature study on selected topics that are otherwise not sufficiently covered during the course. You will have the possibility to suggest and select the topic.
