课程介绍：
This program is a special place in the history of plant pathology because they were the first described plant pathogens; today we know that phytopathogens from these groups cause the majority of plant diseases. The ability to be pathogenic is relatively rare, however, despite the abundance of fungal species; what distinguishes pathogens from non pathogens, and symbionts from pathogens or non-pathogens is the focus of the contemporary research in plant pathology.
