Full Description

This exam examines the mechanisms by which plants develop resistance to bacterial diseases, focusing on genetic and biochemical pathways.

Understanding these mechanisms is vital for developing resistant plant varieties, potentially reducing reliance on chemical treatments in agriculture.

Candidates will be evaluated on their verbal ability to explain resistance mechanisms, the genetic basis of resistance, and biochemical pathways involved in defense responses.

Preparation for this exam requires a thorough grasp of plant-microbe interactions, enabling candidates to articulate complex biological processes succinctly.

Sample Questions

What role do R genes play in plant resistance to bacterial pathogens?
Can biochemical pathways influence the effectiveness of plant immune responses against bacteria?

Field: Agricultural Sciences

Subfield: Plant Pathology

Specialization: Phytopathogenic Bacteriology
