Thesis Abstract

This project aims to investigate the effects of various plant pathogens on the reproductive success of plants. Plant pathogens, such as fungi, bacteria, and viruses, can significantly impact plant health and productivity. However, their specific effects on plant reproduction remain poorly understood. Through this study, we will examine how different plant pathogens affect various aspects of plant reproduction, including flower production, pollination success, seed set, and seed viability. By conducting controlled experiments and field observations, we will assess the impact of different pathogens on reproductive success and explore potential mechanisms underlying these effects. The findings from this research will contribute to our understanding of the complex interactions between plant pathogens and plant reproductive biology.
