Plant Pathology
Overview
Plant pathologists study fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes, and other microbes that cause diseases of plants. Plant pathology focuses on understanding how hosts, pathogens, and environments interact to cause plant diseases and on understanding how to control plant diseases. Areas of graduate study in plant pathology range from a basic understanding of host-microbe interactions to applying control practices for disease management. Plant pathology is a prosperous area for basic biological research as well as an integral part of maintaining sustainable, environmentally friendly agricultural production systems.
Opportunities for Study
Programs in plant pathology lead to M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. Assistantships and fellowships are available. Course work and thesis research are designed to meet the objectives of the student. Research may be laboratory or field oriented and range from molecular aspects of host-microbe interactions to host population improvement for disease resistance.

Karen Snover and Michelle Torres, plant disease diagnostician, demonstrate collecting a proper plant sample, a crucial first step in the diagnostic process. Ailing azaleas? Failing fruit trees? Help for those mysterious plant problems can be found at Cornell. Farmers, home gardeners, extension educators, arborists, retailers, and researchers can get solutions for their most puzzling plant problems from the Department of Plant Pathology in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell. The Plant Disease Diagnostic Clinic, in cooperation with Cornell Cooperative Extension offices around New York State, can answer plant questions over the phone, by correspondence, by diagnosing plant samples mailed to the lab, and now through a newly updated and improved interactive plant diagnostic web site. A new version of the Plant Disease Diagnostic Clinic's web site was released on March 21, 2000. The original site was released in March 1999, but after receiving a New York State Integrated Pest Management grant in 1999, the clinic was able to hire a webmaster to help revamp the old web site. With the new web site, users first locate the specific type of plant they have and then are connected to a list of possible diseases and pathogens affecting the plant. The old web site listed the plant diseases alphabetically under each plant type, or host plant (e.g., "Trees and Shrubs" or "Field Crops"), and it was up to users to narrow down what was affecting their specific plants. To help users know the most common diseases currently affecting New York State plants, weekly updates are posted on the web site listing diseases diagnosed in each county during the growing season.

ITHACA, N.Y. Among 473 of the alien plant species that have invaded from Europe and become naturalized in the United States as noxious weeds, the "most successful" traveled light carrying fewer plant diseases from their native habitats and were more immune to New World plant diseases. That is the conclusion of Cornell University ecologists after examining plant-health records on both sides of the Atlantic. The study, reported in the latest issue of the journal Nature (Feb. 6, 2003) by Charles E. Mitchell and Alison G. Power as "Release of invasive plants from fungal and viral pathogens," is particularly significant in that it reconciles two theories, dating back to Charles Darwin in 1859, about successful naturalization of invading species. Their findings, the ecologists say, should encourage biological-control strategists to look for weed-control pathogens both in the invading weeds' native and adopted habitats. However, they warn that biological control can negatively impact native species and is no panacea. What most surprised Mitchell and Power was the finding that pathogens can help keep invasive plants in check.

Introduction
Trichoderma In my laboratory, we have been developing technology for the biocontrol of plant pathogens for about two decades. This paper will briefly discuss this effort, and the progress from basic research to products now available commercially.
The basic requirements of successful biocontrol.
Our early work demonstrated that Trichoderma systems
  • A highly effective biocontrol strain or other material must be obtained or produced. Such strains must not only have appropriate mechanisms for biocontrol Pythium Rhizoctonia solani Fusarium Botrytis cinerea, Sclerotium rolfsii, Sclerotinia homoeocarpa. However, development of biocontrol systems has only begun when an effective strain is identified. In our research, we have used only T. harzianum T. virens
  • Inexpensive production and formulation of the biocontrol agent or other material in question must be developed. The production process must result in biomass with excellent shelf life even under adverse storage conditions. In many respects, the requirements for production of products for agricultural use are more difficult to meet than those required for pharmaceutical products. If agricultural materials are to be successful, they must be very inexpensive, able to be produced in large quantities, and maintain good viability without specialized storage systems.

    Scientists at the USDA, ARS, Beltsville Agricultural Research Center have responded to the need to identify and develop alternative strategies for soil fumigation, which has been done traditionally with methyl bromide, by directing several research programs to address this critical problem. A total of six permanent scientists (SY's), along with their support personnel, are currently involved in this effort. These SY's represent several disciplines: plant pathology, soil science, microbiology and nematology, providing a range of expertise related to the control of soilborne plant pathogens.
    Soilborne diseases caused by pathogens such as Pythium and Rhizoctonia are constant problems in the horticultural industry and require the use of chemical fungicides, including methyl bromide. For decades, researchers and growers throughout the world have noted that while some soils tend to encourage soilborne diseases, other soils tend to suppress these same diseases. Years of research have indicated that beneficial soil microorganisms such as Gliocladium virens are responsible for this disease suppression. Yet, until now, problems with formulation inconsistency and application have prevented the commercial application of many biological organisms to control plant pathogens.

    More People Are Getting Sick From Eating Fresh Fruits
    St. Paul, MN (January 27, 2003) Salmonella, E. coli, shigellosis, hepatitis A, and Norwalk these food-borne diseases can produce symptoms that run from the mild to life-threatening. The young and old are particularly vulnerable and while consumption of beef and poultry have been the most common sources of such infections, fresh fruits and vegetables are being increasingly implicated in such outbreaks. So much so, that plant disease scientists are now taking a closer look at this issue. "Historically, human pathogens like E. coli and Salmonella have rarely been associated with plants, so plant disease scientists have not looked at them directly," says J.W. Buck, a plant pathologist at the University of Georgia. But that is changing, says Buck, as such incidences continue to increase. Buck says there is no single reason why the number of reported produce-related outbreaks in the U.S. per year doubled between 1973-1987 and 1988-1992 and why they continue to rise. Possible explanations include the simple fact that we are eating more fruits and vegetables than ever before. But experts agree that there is more to it than that and that our food production practices likely bear some responsibility.
