This book is based on symposium addresses given at the 5th
International Symposium on the Microbiology of the Phyllosphere,
held in Madison, Wisconsin, from 31 July to 3 August 1990. The
conference brought together about 100 scientists with diverse
interests pertinent to the study of leaves and microbes, including
bacteriology, mycology, medical microbiology, ecology, plant
pathology, physiology, anatomy, molecular biology, statis- tics,
aerobiology, and meteorology. What has been learned since the first
conference of the series was convened in 1979 at
Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, by T. F. Preece and C. H. Dickinson?
Introductory remarks by N. J. Fokkema (Chapter 1) provide the pers-
pective of a plant pathologist about how the discipline has evolved
and where we stand now more than 30 years after the pioneering
Dutch scien- tist J. Ruinen described the phyllosphere as an
"ecologically neglected mili* eu. " The first major section of the
book, Part 2, "The Habitat," is comprised of five chapters and
considers leaf-microbe relationships in an aerial and an aquatic
setting. B. E. Juniper (Chapter 2) sets the stage by reviewing the
physical and chemical features of leaves that may influence
microbial growth. Aerial movement of microbes to and from leaves is
considered by D. E. Pedgley (Chapter 3). The aquatic analog to air
as a medium is assessed by R. Goulder and J. H. Baker (Chapter 4).
Leaf surface features that influ- ence fungal infection are
discussed by E. A. Allen, H. C. Hoch, J. R.
