How can I do a experimental design and data analysis by considering following data?

Question

If I start my own lab and have been given open-ended funding from a

generous donor to pursue advanced "-omics" approaches to completely understand the

influence of environment on growth and development of Plasmopara obducens (powdery

mildew) on Impatiens walleriana.

Assume the following:

There are no advanced "-omics" data on either the pathogen or the host.

I can grow the pathogen on defined media in a lab.

I can readily infect the host with the pathogen.

Environmental factors are known to influence disease severity and/or progression.

My task is to develop a research program that will identify molecular targets for

combatting this pathogen using advanced "-omics" approaches.

How can I do a experimental design and data analysis (and confirmation of

results if appropriate). 

Answer 1

Why don't you quit reinventing the wheel, and "back-engineer" from some known conclusions? Such as:
