This book contains fuller versions of the papers and posters
presented in the Knowledge and Technology Transfer and Teaching
Plant Pathology sessions at the 9th International Congress of Plant
Pathology held in Turin, Italy in 2008. Communication is an
essential area for plant pathologists and it is not just the
publication of results in the scientific press that is important.
In a world where there is a major shortage of food and where a
significant amount of it is destroyed by pests and diseases before
it ever reaches the consumer, it is important to provide support to
those who produce the food in order to reduce the losses. Reducing
crop losses not only has an impact on health, but also wealth and,
therefore, the ability to survive. With an ever-increasing demand
on food supplies due to increases in population, and changes in
life-style associated with rising incomes in certain parts of the
world, plant pathologists have a pivotal role to play in
contributing to global food security. Aspects of crop protection
have lost favour with the general public because of concerns about
environmental pollution and genetic modification of crops. This has
had a 'knock on' effect in the recruitment and training of crop
protectionist in g- eral and a concomitant impact on courses
available at universities. However, it has never been more
important to train people with good communication skills and an
ability to solve problems to tackle the complexities of pathogen
and plant interactions.
