This book is based on papers presented at the Second International
Symposium on Bacterial and Bacteria-like Contaminants of Plant
Tissue Cultures held at University College, Cork, Ireland in
September 1996, with additional invited papers. Since the first
symposium (published as Acta Horticulturae 225, 1988), there have
been considerable advances in both plant disease diagnostics and in
the development of structured approaches to the management of
disease and microbial contamination in micropropagation. These
approaches have centered on attempts to separate, spatially, the
problems of vertical disease transmission, via infected explants to
progeny microplants, from laboratory contamination. Disease control
is best achieved by establishing pathogen-free cultures, while
laboratory contamination management is based on subsequent good
working practice. Control of losses due to pathogens and microbial
contamination in vitro addresses, arguably, the most important
causes of losses in the industry; nevertheless, losses at and post
establishment can also be considerable due to poor quality
micro-propagules. In this book, a holistic approach to pathogen and
microbial contamination control is evident with the recognition
that micropropagators must address pathogen and microbial
contamination in vitro, and diseases and microplant failure at
establishment. There is increasing interest in establishing
beneficial bacterial and mycorrhizal association with microplants
in vitro and in vivo. The contents are divided into sections. In
each section there are papers that update contributions offered at
the first symposium; for example, major advances have been made in
microbial taxonomy and diagnosticsbased on advances in DNA-based
techniques. Consolidation has occurred in therapy and laboratory
contamination management. Novel, and arguably speculative, in vitro
contamination control based on autotrophic culture is described;
and disease control at establishment using bacterial and
mycorrhizal inoculants is discussed.
