Overview
Studying
the emergence and development of bacteriology), the
components of the bacterial cell, the importance of bacterial plant diseases,
environmental conditions affecting the growth of pathogenic bacteria,
physiological processes and disease cycle, techniques and methods used in the
diagnosis and identification of bacteria, classification of prokaryotes and
naming of Eu-, Actino- and Fastidious bacteria, Methods of survival and spread
of plant pathogenic bacteria, methods of entry and growth of plant pathogenic
bacteria in host tissues, chemicals and factors contributing to the occurrence
of infection in the host, effect of pathogenic bacteria on plant functions,
practical: a study of the most important bacterial diseases in Libya and
methods of diagnosis and control.
Intended learning outcomes
By successful completion
of the course, the student will be able to:
1.
Explains the importance and development of bacterial plant
pathology and the achievements made. The
important components of the bacterial cell, cell physiology, and its
contribution to the emergence of science of bacterial diseases.
2.
Determines the classification of different types of bacteria that cause plant
diseases, and studying
methods
of their diagnosis.
3.
Differentiate between methods of survival, entry, and growth of phytopathogenic
bacteria inside the host tissues.
4. Distinguish the symptoms and signs
they cause, the factors and materials that contribute to the occurrence of
infection
process, and their effects on plant functions. .
5.
Explains the most important diseases caused by phytopathogenic bacteria, and Fastidious
bacteria on different Plant families grown in Libya and methods of control.
Teaching and learning methods
Methods
of teaching and learning:
Lectures depends on presentations via a Data show with stimulating students to
participate in the discussion of course contents.
Practical lessons explaining the most important diseases caused by bacteria;
Its symptoms and causes, a comprehensive explanation with pictures. Field
visits to examine the symptoms on plants and their control methods.
Monthly reports on the most important diseases in the surrounding areas, then a
final report showing one of these diseases discussed in seminar lecture that obtained
appropriate evaluation.
Midterm Tests and a final exam to assess the student's understanding of the
prescribed contents.
