Research on the mechanisms of plant defense responses to stress and
pathogen attack has attracted much attention in recent years. This
increasing interest stems from the fact that the tools of molecular
biology now enable us to study the molecular basis of old
biological concepts such as host-pathogen recognition (and
particularly the gene for-gene relationship), hypersensitive cell
death and systemic acquired resistance. Our knowledge about
avirulence and resistance genes, elicitors, signal transduction and
genes involved in plant defense is rapidly expanding. Moreover we
are just beginning to test in planta the potential of these results
for biotechnological applications, aimed at improving plant
resistance to diseases. The 2nd Conference of the European
Foundation for Plant Pathology, hosted by the "Societe Fran~aise de
Phytopathologie", was devoted to "Mechanisms of plant defense
responses" and was held in Strasbourg, France. It brought together
over 350 scientists from universities, research institutes and
private sectors of 24 countries. Major advances in the areas under
study have been reviewed in plenary lectures and are developed in
the main articles of this book. Over 160 high-quality posters were
presented and are summarized in short articles. Data from
outstanding posters, which were discussed after a short oral
presentation, are found in extended articles. As a whole the book
presents a collection of papers arranged in six sections and
reflecting the present day state-of-the-art of research in the
field of plant defense reactions.
