A summer school on:

SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION IN INDUCTION OF PLANT DEFENSES:
FROM ECOLOGY TO MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

will be held in Wageningen, The Netherlands, from August 28-30, 1995.

Topics:
1. Recognition of attackers by the plant and of plant by attackers
speakers: L. Gheysen (Belgium), E. Staedler (Switzerland) &
D.C. Baulcombe (UK)
2. Systemic signals and responses
speakers: L.C. van Loon (The Netherlands), D. Bowles (UK) &
E.E. Farmer (Switzerland)
3. Responses of attackers and their antagonists
speakers: P.G. Ayres (UK), K. Vrieling (The Netherlands) &
M. Dicke (The Netherlands)


Who should attend the summer school?
Everyone who studies organisms that attack plants has to be aware
of the interactions taking place between the plant and its attacker,
as well as interactions between different plant attackers and their 
natural enemies. Thus, this summer school is intended for PhD students
in ecology, physiology and molecular biology, in entomology, nematology
phytopathology, virology, plant breeding etc.
Senior scientists are welcome if space permits. 
Attendance is limited to 60 participants


Working language is English

Costs: Dfl 300,- which includes the abstract book, coffee, tea 
and lunches throughout the summer
school and dinner on Monday August 28th.
