Characteristics and importance of different groups of infectious plant disease agents. Evolution, infectious cycle and basic epidemiology of key groups of plant pathogens - components of the infectious cycle and its division, sources of infection and survival of pathogens, transmission and spread of pathogens, pathogenesis, etc. 2. Characteristics of the plant-phytopathogenic organism interaction system, plant response to infectious agents, processes related to plant diseases, influence of the external environment on the occurrence and development of diseases. 3. Modern methods of determination, detection and quantification of the main groups of disease agents. Symptomatics and its importance in the determination of phytopathogenic viruses, bacteria and fungi on major agricultural crops and plants. Current issues in taxonomy and ecology of pathogens of crop plants. 4. Biological and epidemiological characteristics of key and occasional crop pathogens. Prediction of plant pathogens, prognosis and signalling in the context of the target host plant species. 5. Current status and perspectives of Integrated Plant Protection, deepening knowledge on the theoretical basis of IOR strategy in the context of integrated crop production, sustainable development strategies and alternative crop technologies. 6. Key aspects of IOR; host plant function, choice of cultivation technologies, delimitation of pathogens by importance, prediction of changes in pathogen occurrence and spread. Principles of integrated control of complex key and occasional pathogens, with emphasis on the ecological, economic, hygienic and toxicological aspects of control programmes. 7. New insights into alternative methods of suppression and spread of phytopathogenic microorganisms. Main research directions in the field of innovation and development of new control methods applicable in IOR.
