Bacterial Wilt

Proceedings of an international conference held at Kaohsiung, Taiwan, 28-31 October 1992. — Canberra: Australian Centre for InternalionalAgricultural Research, 1993. — 381 pp. — (ACIAR Proceedings No. 45).ISBN 1 86320 0878. Bacterial wilt is primarily of importance in the tropics and subtropics. One consequence of predicted global warming is that significantly different climatic regions, some of them more favourable to bacterial wilt, will be created. These proceedings are from a conference held in Taiwan in 1992 where workers gathered to discuss advances, establish priorities for future research, and maintain formal and informal networks to coordinate research efforts and use more efficient resources. **Contents:Phenotype, Genotype and Phylogeny: Identification and Diagnostic Methods.**Bacterial Wilt: Past, Present, and Future __(L.
