Full Description

This exam focuses on how plant diversity affects disease resistance mechanisms, exploring the concept of genetic and phenotypic variation within plant communities.

The implications of these dynamics are critical, as they inform plant breeding strategies and conservation efforts aimed at enhancing crop resilience against pests and diseases.

Candidates will articulate the relationships between genetic diversity, phenotypic responses to pathogens, and the ecological outcomes for plant populations.

Illustrative case studies should be reviewed to demonstrate how diversified plant systems can mitigate disease impacts.

Sample Questions

How does genetic diversity within a plant species influence its resistance to disease?
What role do phenotypic responses play in determining plant community resilience to pathogens?

Field: Agricultural Sciences

Subfield: Plant Pathology

Specialization: Biodiversity and Disease Ecology
