BSPP2011: The Impact of Bioactive Small Molecules in Plant Pathology

President: George Salmond

We have lined up an exciting list of speakers who will address the topics of how microbes use small molecules in their assault on plant hosts, how plants retaliate with their own molecular arsenal, and how small bioactive molecules may be identified and exploited in disease control.

We encourage contributions from student and early career plant pathologists. The P.H. Gregory Prize will be awarded at the meeting for the best presentation made by a post-graduate or early career postdoctoral speaker, and the J. Colhoun Poster Prize will be awarded to the best poster from a post-graduate student. This year the P.H. Gregory Prize and J. Colhoun competitions will be held on 15 December, the day prior to presentations from invited speakers. A special registration rate for post-graduate members of the society is available to encourage the widest possible involvement.
