The book is divided into seven chapters. The first six are focused on the research aimed at improvement of resistance to fungi, bacteria,nematodes, viruses and insects, and improvement of quality. The latter was assigned two keynote lectures, respectively on agro-food quality and on quality of woody plants. Each chapter begins with a keynote paper.The seventh chapter includes the special lectures which opened and closed the congress.
