The twenty-first volume in the series focuses on plant pathology
and is the first to integrate Advances in Plant Pathology into
Advances in Botanical Research. The articles represented strive
both to draw insights from relevant biological disciplines into the
realm of plant pathology and to reveal the general principles of
plant pathology to the broad audience of biologists, including
undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers and
teachers.
Kombrink and Somssich address how plant pathogens communicate at
the genetic and biochemical level in determining resistance or
susceptibility. This general theme is continued in articles on the
nature of fungal wilt diseases (Beckman and Roberts); plant virus
infection (de Zoeten); and the gene-for-gene interactions between
plants and fungi (de Wit). Ehrlich takes up the timely issue of how
pressure to expand and intensify agriculture is influencing
agroecosystems and natural ecosystems on a global scale. The
current status and future prospects of chestnuts, in health and
disease, is considered by Anagnostakis. In an article on
phytoplasmas, Kirkpatrick and Smart review the recent application
of molecular techniques to the inference of taxonomic and
phylogenetic relationships among mycoplasma-like organisms. To
conclude the volume, Savary and colleagues show how a form of
systems analysis can be used to handle large and complex data sets
in epidemology.
