What is a Plant Pathologist?

A plant pathologist is someone who's interested in understanding the organisms and agents that cause plant diseases and how diseases affect plant health. As you'll see in the profiles below, there is a massive range of plant pathology careers. Most plant pathologists work in university departments, commercial companies or do government funded research.
