Modern fungicides and antifungal compounds II, 12th int. Reinhardsbrunn symposium May 24th - 29th 1998, Berg Hotel, Freidrichroda, Thuringia, Germany

The series of Reinhardsbrunn Symposia gives the opportunity to share recent results with interested scientists in the field of fungicide research. The presentation of new antifungal compounds, their characteristics and the mode of action, this years symposium gave an inside look on trends in fungicide screening and the introduction of molecular biology and genomics into the search for new leading structures. Additionally the recent status of the use of natural antifungal compounds derived from plants as well as microorganism was presented. Aspects of induced resistance provided new measures to improve plant health. New results of fungicide resistance and resistance management completed the range of topics.

Current status and development of fungicide science (8 comm.). Mode of action of fungicides (15 comm.). Influence of fungicides on host plant physiology (7 comm.). Integrated control of plant diseases (4 comm.). Management of fungicide resistance (7 comm.). Induced resistance : strategies, practical application and mode of action (10 comm.). Natural products and biological control (11 comm.).
