PLPA 6380 - Filamentous Fungal Genomics and Development


Spring. (Weeks 9-12) 1 credit. Letter grades only.

Prerequisite: BIOMG 2800  or BIOMG 2801  or equivalent. Offered alternate years.

B. G. Turgeon.

Molecular genetic and genomic approaches to the study of fungal biology. Classical fungal genetics is reviewed. Structure of fungal genomes and contemporary methodology for functional analyses are covered. Case studies are used to dissect developmental processes such as fungal reproduction and plant pathogenesis (including the role of fungal effectors and secondary metabolites). Experimental data are evaluated. Examples are chosen from investigations of model fungi.
