Full Description

This exam evaluates the classification and identification of plant pathogenic fungi using morphological and molecular techniques. Students will articulate the methodology and principles underpinning these identification processes, including microscopy and DNA sequencing.

Understanding these methodologies is crucial as plant diseases caused by fungi can significantly impact agricultural productivity. Accurate identification is essential for disease management and developing control strategies.

The exam will assess the ability to verbally communicate the principles of fungal taxonomy, detail specific identification techniques, and explain the significance of correct classification in plant pathology.

Students should be prepared to discuss various fungal groups, their characteristics, and their implications in agriculture to provide a comprehensive understanding of the topic.
