Opis

The chapters in this book represent detailed versions of papers presented at the Symposium on Viral Genes and Plant Pathogenesis held at Lexington, Kentucky on October 16 and 17, 1989. In selecting topics and authors, we attempted to have represented a spectrum of systems which are at the forefront of research on plant virus genes and gene products, particularly as they relate to plant disease. The book also contains pertinent discussion of the papers presented at the symposium, as well as summaries, observations and projections of future research directions prepared by the session chairmen. We wish to express our appreciation to Dr. D. L. Davis, of the RI. Reynolds Tobacco Company for suggesting the organization of the Symposium and the publication of the proceedings, and to the R 1. Reynolds Tobacco Company for the financial support which made the symposium possible. We also wish to thank those of our colleagues in the Department of Plant Pathology, University of Kentucky, who very ably and in many ways contributed to the organization and conduct of the conference.
