Ph.D
Dec 1, 2018 - Apr 7, 2021

from college of science ( department of biology) The doctoral study focused on environmental concerns. For the first time in Iraq, the pathogenic fungus (Phytophthora infestans) was isolated. This fungus poses several environmental risks to trees, as it infiltrates plants via contaminated irrigation water.

The fungus was genetically identified, and two isolates were registered in the Global Gene Bank.

Also, for the first time in the city of Mosul, the fungus was isolated from the soil of various citrus trees for three seasons of the year (winter, spring, and summer).
