Based on a similarly named meeting in December 1999 organized by the British Society for Plant Pathology, this book considers the biology of interations between host plants and the pathogens that infect them. This important topic has seen some significant advances in the past ten years, especially through the application of molecular techniques which are extensively covered in this book.
