PREFACE In a mutualistic symbiosis, two (or sometimes more) organ isms of very different kinds come together and establish a long term association in which the partners show a high degree of integration with each other. Studies have been made in various types of symbiosis to understand the processes by which the partners recognise each other, but hitherto there has been no attempt to compare and correlate results from a broad range of associations to see if any common principles emerge. Further more, the previous lack of a comparative approach has led to inconsistences in the way in which terms are used - even such a fundamental term as 'recognition' itself. There is frequently an assumption that molecular signals pass between the partners in the early stages of the establish ment of a symbiosis, although the experimental evidence under lying this assumption requires critical evaluation. Because contact between host and symbiont becomes intimate and often morphologically complex, it may be difficult to get direct biochemical evidence for the existence of signals, and heavy reliance has to be placed on indirect evidence, especially as provided by ultrastructural, cytochemical, immunological and genetic studies. For these various reasons, it was particularly opportune to hold a NATO Advanced Workshop on cell-to-cell signals in plant, animal and microbial symbiosis. The objective of the workshop was to identify the processes involved in contact be tween cells of hosts and symbionts. It involved critical re views of the current state of knowledge of various symbiotic systems, assessment of the evidence for signals, identification of the topics worthy of further investigation, and evaluation of the most promising experimental techniques which could be used. This book contains the papers which were presented at the Workshop, which was held at the Villa Gualino, Torino, May 19-22, 1987. Silvano Scannerini David Smith VIII ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In sending this book to print it is our pleasure and duty to thank the institutions and people whose contribution has been essential for the achieve ment of the workshop and of this volume. First of all we must thank the NATO Scientific Affairs Division which has granted us a generous contribution. In particular our thanks go, unfortu nately posthumous, to prof. Mario di Lullo with whom the activity began, to Dr. Alain Jubier who has substituted him and to the NATO Scientific Represe~ tative of our workshop: Prof. J.A. Fortin. Thanks must also be expressed to the lSI (Institute for Scientific In terchange) which has kindly hosted us at Villa Gualino; to Prof. Tullio Regge president of lSI, Prof. M. Rasetti director, and also to the coopera tion of Dr. Tiziana Bertoletti and the efficiency and patience of Ms. Carmen Novella. Thanks also to the University of Turin and to its Chancellor Prof. M.U. Dianzani whose special grant has made possible the participation of people from non-NATO countries. Among personnel and students of the Plant Biology Department a special mention goes to Ms. Marina Beorchia for secretarial work, Mr. Pantaleone Tripaldi for dealing with administration and Dr. Pietro Spanu for translations.
