Plant Pathology and Plant-Microbe Biology explores plant diseases and the interactions between plants and microorganisms, spanning from molecular processes to entire ecosystems. Cornell's Field of Plant Pathology and Plant-Microbe Biology provides advanced degree programs focusing on plant pathology as well as the biology, genetics, and evolution of fungi and oomycetes. Alongside this specialization, Cornell University features comprehensive graduate programs encompassing all areas of plant science. The Integrative School of Plant Science structures its graduate studies into five interdisciplinary fields, enabling students to bridge disciplines, innovate solutions, and understand complex systems—equipping them for leadership roles in science and society. The PPPMB Field specifically examines every facet of plant diseases and plant-microbe interactions across all biological scales. Additionally, it serves as the primary hub for research on the biology, genetics, and evolutionary patterns of fungi and oomycetes.
