The Plant Pathology Group is a team of plant pathologists in the Department of Plant, Soil and Insect Sciences and affiliated departments. We do research and teaching on applied and basic aspects of plant diseases, including diagnostics, management and the interactions of plant diseases with the environment. We work with plant pathogens, such as fungi, and with abiotic stresses such as air pollution.
