Full Description

This exam centers on the mechanisms by which stressors induce resistance or susceptibility to diseases in plants. A thorough understanding of these mechanisms is paramount for the effective management of plant health.

Gaining insight into how environmental stresses lead to altered resistance profiles assists in the development of effective management strategies for crop protection. This knowledge is essential for informed agricultural practice.

Students will be assessed on their ability to verbally communicate the various pathways by which environmental stress can either enhance or detract from plant disease resistance.

The discussion may include specific examples of stress-induced resistance mechanisms, encouraging students to provide evidence-based arguments during their verbal assessments.

Sample Questions

What are the key molecular pathways involved in resistance to pathogens during drought stress?
How can salinity stress modify the effectiveness of a plant's innate immune responses?
