BSPP2004: Discovery, Development and Delivery in Plant Pathology
5th September 2004 - 10th September 2004
President: Stuart Wale
7th Conference of the European Foundation for Plant Pathology & BSPP Presidential Meeting 2004: Discovery, Development and Delivery in Plant Pathology
The 7th Conference of the European Foundation for Plant Pathology (EFPP) took place in the Old Aberdeen Campus at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland from 5th – 10th September 2004 and also included the 2004 BSPP Presidential Meeting. The president was Stuart Wale.
Main topics:
- Discovery – New horizons in plant pathology genes and their products, novel discoveries, plant omics and pathogen omics
- Development understanding the pathogen epidemiology & forecasting, diagnostics, biology of pathogens
- Development controlling the pathogen breeding, chemical, biological and cultural control
- Delivery Converting research to practical messages decision support, advice in developing countries, training methods and the involvement of growers, buyers and policy makers in decision-making.
