Prof. Dr. Moustafa Moharam
I am a professor and lecture in the field of plant pathology. My research is specifically in the field of plant pathology that is, the study of plant disease processes, the organisms that cause them, and the development of strategies for their management, that is the integration of a range of control measures (cultural, physical, biological, chemical) for the management of pathogens in cropping and conservation areas. Currently, I am going and developing a project utilizing molecular techniques to improve the understanding of plant pathogenic processes.
I graduated in 1993 with honors in a Bachelor of Science from the Faculty of Agriculture, Assiut University, Egypt, majoring in Plant Pathology. I also graduated in 2001 with my M.Sc., in Plant Pathology (Studies on root rot disease of the peanut). Then I graduated in 2010 my Ph.D. program in Plant Pathology, Faculty of Agriculture, Minia University, Egypt with Professor Ahmed Amin Abd El-Fatah cooperation with Dr. Eckhard Koch (Institute for Biological control, JKI, Darmstadt, Germany in Channel system program scholarship from 2006-2008). When I had obtained a channel scholarship program from the Egyptian Governor to complete my Ph.D. study in the field of Plant Pathology, I studied at Julius Kehun Institute (JKI), Institute for Biological Control in Darmstadt, Germany. I studied the fungal plant pathogen Sporisorium sorghi, the causal agent of covered kernel smut disease in Sorghum. I performed detailed studies of environmental factors affecting teliospore germination and mycelial dry weight and determined the longevity for teliospore in vitro and in the field, screened available sorghum cultivars for resistance, and detect the causal organism in the plant by light microscopy, ELISA, and PCR. The phylogenetic analysis of the GAPDH gene of S. sorghi and others published related fungal genera and species was studied. I studied the biological control of smut by isolated microorganisms and commercial products of plant extracts and strengthening were also evaluated.
I always try to see what is new in the field of biocontrol of plant pathogens. So I will be very happy if someone has this interest in this field and Molecular analysis and phylogenetic analysis of fungal pathogens.
Currently, I'm teaching Plant Pathology courses in the plant Pathology Depart. Faculty of Agriculture, Sohag University, Egypt.
