This book is a collection of papers presented at a NATO Advanced
Research Workshop on "Biology and Molecular Biology of
Plant-Pathogen Interactions" which was held at Dillington College,
Ilminster, UK, 1-6 September 1985. It had been preceded by Advanced
Study Institutes at Porte Conte, Sardinia in 1975 and at Cape
Sounion, Greece in 1981. In recent years, methods for the
manipulation and transfer of genes have revolutionized our
understanding of gene structure and function. It was thus opportune
to bring together scientists from distinct disciplines, e. g. plant
pathology, cytology, biochemistry and molecular biology to discuss
our present understanding of cellular interactions between plants.
We also explored how the potential offered by the newer molecular
technologies could best be realized. It soon became evident at the
Workshop, and is a repeated theme of this publication, that future
research will need concentrated multi disciplinary programmes. Many
of the new approaches will be valuable. For example,
immunocytochemistry does, for the first time, allow molecules to be
located precisely within infected tissues. Equally, the methods of
DNA isolation and gene transformation will facilitate the isolation
and characterization of genes associated with pathogenesis and
specificity. The description at the Workshop of immunocytochemical
protocols and of transformation systems for pathogenic fungi have
already stimulated an upsurge in research on plant-pathogen
relationships. The papers discuss many interactions between plants
and fungal and bacterial pathogens, but also provide a comparison
with mycorrhizal and symbiotic relationships, and those involving
mycoparasites."
