Plant Pathology and Plant-Microbe Biology explores plant diseases and the biological interactions between plants and microorganisms, spanning from molecular processes to entire ecosystems. Cornell's Plant Pathology and Plant-Microbe Biology program provides advanced studies in plant pathology along with fungal and oomycete biology, genetics, and evolution. Beyond this specialization, Cornell University features comprehensive graduate programs encompassing all areas of plant science. The School of Integrative Plant Science structures its graduate studies into five interdisciplinary fields: Horticulture, Plant Biology, Plant Breeding, Plant Pathology & Plant Microbe Biology, and Soil & Crop Sciences. This integrated approach enables students to bridge disciplines, develop innovative solutions, and understand complex biological systems, equipping them for varied professional paths and leadership roles in science and society.
