Plants interact with a large number of microoganisms which have a
major impact on their growth either by establishing mutually
beneficial symbiotic relationships or by developing as pathogens at
the expense of the plant with deleterious effects. These
microorganisms differ greatly not only in their nature (viruses,
phytoplasmas, bacteria, fungi, nematodes, ... ) but also in the way
they contact, penetrate and invade their host. Histology and
cytology have brought an essential contribution to our knowledge of
these phenomena. They have told us for instance, how specialized
structures of the pathogen are often involved in the adhesion and
penetration into the plant, how the interface between both
organisms is finely arranged at the cellular level, or what
structural alterations affect the infected tissues. They have thus
set the stage for the investigations of the underlying molecular
mechanisms could be undertaken. Such investigations have been
remarkably successful in the recent years, expanding considerably
our understanding of plant-microorganism interactions in terms of
biochemical changes, rapid modifications of enzymatic activities,
coordinated gene activation, signal reception and transduction.
Biochemistry, molecular biology and cellular physiology have taken
precedence in the phytopathologist's set of methods.
