ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM

The pathogenic phase of an organism is only one aspect of a plant–microbe communication that should always be accounted by spatial and temporal parameters. Plant pathology shares an interface with all disciplines in agricultural and environmental sciences. A paradigm shift is needed to view pathogens and diseases as components of ecosystems, including farming systems, and to describe their epidemiology and management with more precision. All these interactions fall within the broad term of systems biology where understanding the interactions among components is crucial. However, the challenge is how to bring together the detailed molecular and the whole crop systems in practice. This can only be achieved by a multi-disciplinary approach. This symposium aims to act as a forum for communication of research findings related to all the issues, from the molecular and ecological interactions among plants, pathogens, other microbes, and vectors, to etiology and epidemiology of disease in field populations and diverse landscapes.

THEMES

  • Role of beneficial microbes in plant health management (PHM) status and future avenues
  • Role of diagnostics in PHM
  • Innovative approaches in PHM
  • Climate resilient agriculture and disease forecasting
  • Emerging areas in plant pathology
