The working group is comprised of colleagues from universities, the Julius Kuehn-Institute and plant protection services, industrial corporations, and other research institutes. Annual 2-day-meetings are open and held at changing locations; they are joint meetings with the working group “Host-Parasite-Interaction” and serve to present new research results and to exchange ideas and experiences. Between 60 and 120 members of both working groups attend the meetings.
