Introduction
• Forest trees– Long – lived– Exposed to array of pathogens– Do not posses adaptive immunity
• Innate immunity
• Resistant genotypes required

Strategy
• Information based on model systems– Arabidopsis thaliana
• Develop pathosystems• Use genomic and transcriptomic resources
– Dissect defence responses– Understand host responses
• Identify key targets to improve resistance.
