Abstract
Biotic interactions are ubiquitous and can influence the outcome of plant-pathogen associations in both positive and negative ways. This book contains the key papers from a conference of the same name held in December 1999 and jointly organised by the British Society for Plant Pathology and the virology group of the Association of Applied Biology. The 17 chapters cover a range of interactions: (i) within-taxon interactions; (ii) interactions with fungi; (iii) interactions with prokaryotes; (iv) biological control, within-taxon; (v) biological control, across-taxa; (vi) complex diseases and diseases of complex aetiology; and (vii) methodology and modelling. The briefwas to get away from the dogma ofplant diseases being caused by single agents, and to address the genetical, physiological and ecological interactions from the point-of-view of a series of particular topics.
