EPP 445 - Plant Immunity: System and Evolution
3 credit hour(s)

This course explores the intricate world of plant defense mechanisms, from their historical discovery to cutting-edge applications. Students will delve into the molecular and cellular components of plant immune systems, analyzing how plants recognize and respond to pathogens. The course covers the genomic architecture of immunity genes and the evolutionary processes shaping plant-pathogen interactions. By examining traditional and modern disease resistance approaches, students will gain practical insights into crop improvement strategies. This interdisciplinary course equips learners with the knowledge to understand complex immune networks and apply this understanding to enhance agricultural sustainability and food security.
