Relationship to Campus Theme: Nature, Technology and Beyond
Plant diseases have a huge impact on people, most notably when they attack our sources of food. Yet,
in
nature
diseases play an important role in promoting diversity among species as well as helping to
keep overall plant populations strong. New
technologies
are introduced constantly in order to battle
these pathogens. The
future
of plant pathology will be to find ways to work with nature in order to
prevent or manage plant diseases.
