Abstract

The forest pathology paradigm is shifting to include complex ecological interactions that contribute to disease development, such as 1) microbial communities associated with the soil or host plant that suppress or enhance disease; 2) invasive pathogens that are associated with new hosts in new environments; 3) host and pathogen populations that display different adaptation and ecological behaviors; 4) induced host resistance to disease that is derived from differential gene expression; and 5) other interacting environmental factors that influence biological processes related to plant disease.
