A NATO Advanced Study Institute on "Phytotoxins in Plant Diseases"
was held in Pugnochiuso (Italy) in June 1970. It was concerned
mainly with the chemistry and mode of action of substances toxic to
higher plants which are produced by pathogenic bacteria and fungi.
The role of such substances in specificity was consider ed but
largely in relation to host-specific toxins. In 1973, in light of
the success of the 1970 Institute, we decided to plan for another
in 1975 and after discussion with col leagues during the Second
International Congress of Plant Pathology, we selected "Specificity
in Plant Diseases" as the theme for the 1975 Institute. Our chief
reasons for the choice were that specificity is un doubtedly the
dominant problem in plant pathology and that with the rapid
increase during the last decade or so in the diversity and
sophistication of biochemical techniques, we should now expect
during the next few years much more research on specificity and
major ad vances in our understanding of the mechanisms that control
it. It seemed to us that a residential meeting with the advantages
and status of a NATO Advanced Study Institute would do much to
stimulate interest and research in this most important field. The
theme also had the merit of continuity with that of the 1970
Institute."
