The Department of Plant Pathology is internationally
recognized for its research in Fusarium systematics, mushroom
science, and air pollution effects on plants. In addition to these
world-class programs, the Department has outstanding strength
in epidemiology, virology, phytobacteriology, molecular biology,
host-parasite interactions, soil ecology, and mycology.
Efforts focus on several priority areas:
- Biology of Host-Pathogen and Host-Environmental
Stress Interactions
- Mycology and Mushroom Science (including
Spawn Science)
- Distance Education
- Adaptive Research and Extension Programs
- Food Quality and Safety
- Sustainability, a Central Paradigm of Agriculture
- Commodity-based Fruit Research Program
Faculty in Plant Pathology have a strong commitment
to collaborative research, with on-going programs involving interactions
within and among departments, colleges, universities, and nations;
and continuing and expanding leadership in interdisciplinary research
