The majority of plant pathogens comprising about 60% of the total are belonging to a group of eukaryotic microorganisms, commonly known as FUNGI although this name obviously covers a number of organisms that are not fungi in a strict sense (1(. Yet, all these plant pathogens, having different systematic positions within the livings, are of significance as far as agricultural crop production is concerned.Mycologists in the past were primarily interested in identifying fungal diseases, describing the fungi, studying their life cycle in relation to environment and looking for effective control measures. A big step forward was when investigations expanded toward the physiology of plant diseases and disease resistance. Meanwhile fungal genetics has developed providing a better understanding of plant-fungus relations. Recently, with the introduction of molecular techniques, new approaches of research, such as molecular taxonomy and molecular genetics have been established and the molecular methods were applied in other related fields of studies.For the illustration of changes in research interest worldwide, the main research topics and all the contributions (poster presentations) accepted at and published by the 7th International Congress of Plant Pathology held in Edinburgh, Scotland between 9-16 August 1998 have been scanned. Based on these, some of the most promising research trends with a few examples will be accounted here and then a short overview of what has recently been done by Hungarian mycologists on the subject will be given.
