Head: Professor James R. Steadman, Ph.D.

Through the School of Biological Sciences and the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, the Plant Pathology Department offers graduate programs leading to the master of science and doctor of philosophy degrees with a major in biological sciences or agronomy and a specialization in plant pathology. Located on East Campus, at the Beadle Center, and the Panhandle Research and Extension Center, plant pathology offers the advantages of an excellent, energetic faculty with diverse research interests in an interactive department environment.

State-of-the-art facilities support research programs in such areas as molecular plant pathology, fungal molecular genetics, phytobacteriology, nematology, virology, epidemiology, biocontrol, disease resistance, and plant diseases, especially of food and fiber crops, as well as range and urban grasses. Opportunities also exist for interdisciplinary programs in biotechnology, plant breeding, microclimatology, plant stress, pest management, and international agriculture.

Please refer to "Biological Sciences" and "Agronomy and Horticulture" for degree requirements. Thesis and dissertation research normally is performed under the supervision of plant pathology graduate faculty.
