This home page is dedicated to the University of Nebraska Lincoln, Department of Plant Pathology's Introductory Plant Pathology Course, Plant Pathology 369.
Dr. J.E. Partridge is the Professor in charge
This page is used by the course as reference and review material. Sections are released to this Home Page to assist students in preparation for classroom discussion. The web study materials presented here are in lieu of classroom hand outs and are intended to complement the study of the Plant Pathology supported by the Textbooks Plant Pathology, Fifth Edition, by G.N. Agrios or Plant Pathology and Plant Pathogens, 3rd edition by John A. Lucas (Blackwell Science Ltd. Malden, MA, USA, 1998) or other textbooks of the student's choosing, and classroom discussions.
Introductory Plant Pathology is a junior level course and satisfies student curricular requirements for a junior level Essential Studies, Integrative Studies, and Communication Intensive course at the University of Nebraska. The prerequisites for this course are Introductory Biology or Introductory Botany; therefore the materials presented are conservative in the areas of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. When the students need greater understanding in these areas, they are presented in class and supplemented as Exposition pages.
Those interested will find a link to my teaching philosophy at the end of the page.
