Deel Monica Höfte:

1. Intracellular immunity: how does recognition, activation and signalling occur?
2. What is the difference in virulence between necrotrophic and biotrophic pathogens?
3. How does biotrophy occur?

Deel Thomas Van Leeuwen:

1. Different feeding guilds: how does molecular signaling happen, and what are the plant defense mechanisms?
2. How do herbivores cope with the defense of the plant?

Deel Monica Höfte:

1. Describe the role of salicylic acid in plant defences.
2. Describe the infection of powdery mildews, what is special about their genome and which forms of resistance are present in the plant against these powdery mildews?

Deel Lander Bauters:

1. Give the formation and structure of feeding sites for two types of nematodes. How do nematodes migrate to their feeding sites? Which proteins from the plant are involved during formation and migration?
2. How would you study these plant proteins? How would you study effector proteins of nematodes?
