The seventeenth symposium of the British Mycological Society was held jointly with the British Society for Plant Pathology and the Society of Irish Plant Pathologists. The subject of the symposium was Phytophthora, the organism responsible for many plant diseases, most notably potato blight. This book presents the results of the meeting, in a wide-ranging volume incorporating chapters discussing the history of potato blight, host-pathogen reactions, systematics and intraspecific variation, molecular and genetic studies and the development of effective control methods. Arguably the most studied of all plant pathogens, Phytophthora remains a problem in modern agriculture.Lucas, J. D. is the author of 'Phytophthora Symposium of the British Mycological Society, the British Society for Plant Pathology Abd the Society of Irish Plant Pathologists Held' with ISBN 9780521400800 and ISBN 0521400805.
