 Induced resistance and induced tolerance are based on a plant-mediated action against insects and diseases. It has great importance for fundamental and applied research as well as for practical plant protection. Therefore, it is a field which appeals to a broad range of scientists, including entomologists, plant pathologists and plant physiologists. The idea to create a platform on which all the different aspects of induced resistance are assembled in order to foster cross-disciplinary communication, led to the formation of a new study group within the IOBC / wprs under the title „Induced resistance in plants against insects and diseases”. The first conference of this group will be held in Wageningen, The Netherlands. The aim of this conference is to
  1. gain a better understanding of the general and causal processes involved in induced defence reactions of plants, against both, insects and plant pathogens, and
  2. to discuss the application of induced resistance in plant protection. The organising committee is hoping to attract a large and diversified number of senior scientists and students to make this conference productive and create a basis for future collaboration and exchange between the different fields.
