Plant Pathology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that approaches crop protection through the relationship between plant diseases and microorganisms.
AboutAbout the lab
Deciphering the relationship between plants and pathogens.
The Plant Pathology Lab conducts research to deeply understand the interactions among plants, pathogenic microorganisms, and environmental microorganisms.
It investigates the innate disease resistance that plants possess, the virulence strategies of pathogens, and the interactions among microorganisms.
The lab aims to apply these findings to developing disease-resistant plants and making effective use of microorganisms.
Research topics include plant disease resistance mechanisms, biological control using mycoviruses, and symbiosis between plants and endophytes.
Key terms
- mycovirus
- A virus that infects fungi, a group that includes molds and mushrooms
- biological control
- Suppressing plant diseases by using living organisms such as microorganisms
- endophyte
- A name for filamentous fungi (a group that includes molds) that live in symbiosis with plants

ResearchResearch themes
Infectious diseases caused by microorganisms have a major impact on agricultural production. The lab aims to understand the interactions among plants, pathogenic microorganisms, and environmental microorganisms, and to apply that understanding to developing disease-resistant plants and making effective use of microorganisms.
