There is an urgent need to expand our knowledge of both the nature
of the toxigenic fungi that are widespread on
economically-important plants and the effect of their toxic
secondary metabolites on human health. Informa tion about the
production of mycotoxins by plant pathogens, particularly by
species of Fusarium, Aspergillus and Penicillium, their occurrence
in infected plants, as well as their role in the plant-pathogen
interaction, for example as virulence/pathogenicity factors, is a
pre-requisite for preventing plant disease and hence for reducing
the Ievels of mycotoxin contamination. Fusarium infections in
cereals and other crops are a particular problern world-wide and
recent epidemics on wheat in Europe, the USA and Canada have again
focused attention on this problem. Fur thermore, species
ofAspergillus and Penicillium and their related mycotoxins,
particularly Ochratoxin A, represent another consistent problern on
cereals and grapes, especially in Europe where 40% of the global
grape crop is grown. The aim of this publication is to gather
together specialist updated reviews based on papers originally
presented during a Workshop of EU Cost Action 835 entitled
'Agriculturally Important Taxigenie Fungi', held in Rome, 7-8
October 1999 at the Plant Pathology Research Institute. We hope the
diversity of the contents will stimulate discussion, encourage the
sharing of information and result in cross-fertilization of ideas
needed for the solution of the present problems. This special issue
will be of particular value to interdisciplinary scientists and
especially mycologists, mycotoxicologists, plant pathologists and
those concerned about the quality of food and food products.
