Discover CALS See how our current work and research is bringing new thinking and new solutions to some of today's biggest challenges. Understanding the mechanisms of plant-microbe interactions and developing innovative solutions for disease control in the 21st century Fungi oomycetes Fungi and oomycetes represent some of the world most devastating plant pathogens and important plant symbionts as well as being critically important part of the plant and soil microbiome. Our faculty, staff and students include experts in fungal and oomycete taxonomy, molecular interactions, ecology and control. Diversity of Pathogens Bacteria Bacteria are the sources of many important diseases. Our faculty, staff and students are experts in the control of bacterial disease as well as the fundamental interactions at a molecular level that control susceptibility and resistance. Diversity of Pathogens Viruses Viruses are important pathogens, studied by several of our research groups. Areas of investigation include interactions with transmitting insects, diagnosis of viral diseases and pathogen control. Diversity of Pathogens Nematodes Several types of nematodes including the Golden Nematode represent serious threats to New York state agriculture. Researchers affiliated with Plant Pathology and Plant-Microbe Biology are experts the characterization of molecular virulence determinants as well as the biology and ecology of nematode pathogens.Spotlight Slider Previous Next Cross-cutting themes toolsFrom fundamental biology to sustainable disease management with cutting-edge tools of digital agriculture, to pathogen management in international settings, research in Plant Pathology and Plant-Microbe Biology addresses many important questions and needs Molecular mechanisms of plant-microbe interactions PPPMB researchers are identifying virulence factors and their targets to uncover sources of susceptibility and resistance and exploring how beneficial interactions with microbes can promote plant health. Sustainable disease management Plants fight to grow and thrive in the face of threats from diverse pathogens. Our researchers combat these threats with strategies like early detection, reduced inoculum and control measures, making use of cutting-edge tools in digital agriculture. International agriculture The PPPPMB Section has a long history of research on global food security with individual faculty participating in a network of collaborations at Cornell and international centers and universities. Graduate and undergraduate trainingPlant Pathology and Plant-Microbe Biology offers degrees and training opportunities at all stages of the educational pipelineUndergraduate — Fungal Biology MinorUndergraduate research — Summer Research ScholarsUndergraduate research — Microbial Friends FoesUndergraduate research — otherMaster of Professional Studies Plant pathology Biology and integrated management of plant disease organisms Fungal and oomycete biology Fungi and oomycetes including genomics, ecology and systematics Plant-microbe biology Molecular genetics of interactions between microbes and plants Undergraduates majoring in the plant sciences can choose to concentrate in plant pathology and plant-microbe biology, preparing them for careers related to disease and pest management, and for graduate study in plant pathology, mycology and the biology of plant-microbe interactions.  Cornell is one of few places in the United States where students can receive in-depth training on fungi and their impacts. Undergraduate students in diverse majors can add a minor in fungal biology that provides a deep knowledge of fungi and expands their versatility in the workplace. The Summer Research Scholars Program for undergraduates is offered by Cornell AgriTech in Geneva, New York. Undergraduate students participate in exciting research projects in one of three disciplines including plant pathology and plant-microbe biology. The Microbial Friends Foes undergraduate research experience is sponsored by the Cornell Institute of Host-Microbe Interactions and Disease. Participants are placed in host labs at Cornell working on many different aspects of microbial interactions with plants and animals. The Office of Undergraduate Research provides information about exploring the wealth of research opportunities at Cornell.The Honors Program in Biological Sciences is designed to offer advanced training in laboratory and field research through the performance of an original research project under the direct guidance of a member of the Cornell faculty. Our MPS programs are one-year, course-based degrees, ideal for individuals interested in in-depth study of the issues and advancements in plant and soil sciences. Choose from specializations in Controlled Environment Agriculture, viticulture, public garden leadership, hemp science, plant protection, geospatial applications and more. News from the SIPS PPPMB SectionLearn more about recent developments in research, outreach, and education in Plant Pathology Plant-Microbe biology Details $25M center will use digital tools to ‘communicate’ with plants A new multi-institution, transdisciplinary center will develop systems for two-way communication with plants, allowing scientists to remotely sense a plant’s biology and its immediate ecosystem, in hopes of one day using the information to improve plant growth. This year the BGRI will host a virtual conference October 6-8 with the theme “Global Resilience: Science, Pandemics, and the Future of Wheat.” The 2021 BGRI Virtual Technical Workshop will explore how nearly two decades of monitoring and responding to wheat rust epidemics can provide lessons for other global disease outbreaks such as COVID-19. Keynote speakers will draw attention to how we can apply the lessons learned from wheat research and epidemic response to other pandemic diseases facing today’s world.
