Program Description

Research in this area includes studies that address mycotoxin biosynthesis in vivo or in planta, host-pathogen interactions, pathogen natural diversity, and responses of the pathogen to host resistance mechanisms and pathogen control strategies. Research in PBG should complement and be linked to whole plant research that will lead to disease control and/or toxin reduction strategies. See the Pathogen Biology and Genetics (PBG) section of the USWBSI Action Plan for research goals and needs.
