Plant Pathogenesis

Reading

A review article that describes the spread of disease in plants due to climate change. This article in the African Journal of Biotechnology discusses how rising temperatures and changing concentrations of carbon dioxide can affect pathogenesis in plants.

Students will learn how climate change affects the developmental stages of pathogens, the dispersal of pathogens, and the geographical distribution of hosts and pathogens. They will also learn of plant-pathogen interactions through specific case studies.

Use this tool to help your students find answers to:

  1. What is plant pathogenesis?
  2. Discuss how climate change is potentially causing disease in plants.
