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. The contents are as follows:

• Relevance of seed pathology research priorities to worldwide movement of seed
• Implications to international trading of seeds
• Implications to multinational seed production
• Activities at the International Agricultural Research Centers to control pathogens in germplasm
• Seed Quarantine Systems in the United States
• World phytosanitary system: problems and solutions
• Regulatory needs for standardized seed health tests
• Government/Vegetable seed industry cooperation in the Netherlands
• Index
