This collection of articles is a response to the rapid expansion of the global seed trade, a trend that makes seed-borne disease an increasingly significant problem in both developed and developing nations. Based on the proceedings of a symposium held at the 1994 annual meeting of the American Phytopathological Society, these articles address the seed pathology-related interests of organizations that play a role in trading, improving, and regulating seeds in world markets.
