Full Description

This exam examines the impact of abiotic stressors on the dynamics between plants and pathogens. Students are expected to articulate the complexities of these interactions effectively.

The analysis of how abiotic stresses influence plant-pathogen interactions is central to predicting disease outbreaks in agricultural settings. Understanding these relationships enables improved disease management strategies.

Verbal assessments will focus on students' abilities to demonstrate theoretical knowledge regarding the influence of abiotic stress on pathogen virulence and plant susceptibility.

Additional emphasis may be placed on discussing regional variations and climate influence on these dynamics, encouraging a comprehensive understanding of the topic.

Sample Questions

In what ways can increased temperature affect the virulence of plant pathogens?
What role does soil salinity play in modifying plant defenses against fungal pathogens?

Field: Agricultural Sciences
