Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Successful mastering of the courses "Virology", "Molecular Biology", "Biotechnology", "Plant Physiology", "Genetics of Viruses", "Phytoviruses" and "Molecular Biology of Viruses". 2.

Course content
The discipline examines the relationship between host plants and viruses (resistance and susceptibility), covers issues related to the peculiarities of the mechanisms susceptibility and resistance of plants to viruses. In the course of studying the discipline the idea of ​​non-specific and specific factors of resistance is formed, which are manifested at different levels of organization and different stages of development of viral infection. The discipline considers the mechanisms of genetic control of plant resistance to viruses, lays the scientific and theoretical foundations for obtaining virus-resistant plants by modern biotechnological methods.
