This international conference will address theoretical and methodological aspects related to wild plant pathosystems, e.g.: ecological and genetic view of coevolutionary interactions, phylogenetics and speciation, general plant-pathogen perspectives, ecological genomics of host-pathogen interactions, developing a common conceptual framework for antagonistic interactions, pathogens and community structure, epidemiological and evolutionary dynamics across the agro-ecological interface, trends in emerging and invasive pathogens, wild crop progenitors, sources of resistance, breeding applications.
