Printed on acid-free paper 987654321 springer.com Preface Rice blast, caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, is one of the first recorded diseases of rice. It was known as rice fever disease in China as early as 1637 and was reported as Imochi-byo in Japan in 1704. As the rice production expanded through Asia, Latin America, and Africa over the last few centuries, the disease followed and is now found in over 85 countries worldwide. M. oryzae attacks all parts of the rice plant causing losses upwards of hundreds of millions of tons of rice grain annu- ally. Such losses have lead to rice shortages in many developing countries in recent years, making effective control of this devastating disease imperative for global food security and social well-being. Fortunately, the genomes of both rice and M. oryzae were completely sequenced within the last five years. Due to unrestrained public availability of the genome sequences, genetic stocks, and improved research tools, this pathosystem has become the premier model for understanding the molecular basis of plant-fungal interac- tions. Since the 3rd International Rice Blast Conference (IRBC) held on September 11–14, 2002 in Tsukuba, Japan, significant advancements have emerged in our understanding of this disease and technologies available for analysis. To review the recent progress and discuss the future of rice blast research, the 4th IRBC was convened on October 10–14, 2007 in Changsha, the capital of Hunan province, China. The premise for having the conference in China is threefold. First, China is the largest rice producing country in the world with rice being the nutritional staple for over 60% of its 1.3 billion people. Sustainable rice production is essential for the economic and social stability of this country. Second, rice blast continues to cause significant yield losses in China, with many newly-bred rice varieties los- ing their genetic resistance within years of being released. Yield losses in a few elite hybrid rice lines were reported to be as high as 80–90% in recent years in hard hit regions. Finally, Chinese scientists began actively working on rice blast about 50 years ago. In the time since, they have made considerable achievements in selecting blast resistant germplasm for breeding programs, monitoring rice blast populations and epidemics, and developing effective cultural and chemical control protocols. Their recent progress in the molecular analysis of the defense response in rice and conversely pathogenicity in M. oryzae is laudable. China now has arguably the largest cohort of scientists in the world focusing on this disease. Therefore, the v vi Preface proposal to hold the 4th IBRC in China was well received and fully supported by the Rice Blast Executive Committee. The conference was successfully held in the new, well-appointed Vaya Interna- tional Hotel. More than 250 attendees from 20 countries convened, making it the largest IRBC to date. There were 78 oral presentations and 64 poster presentations. Of special note, many postdoctoral fellows and graduate students, representing the future leaders of this field, attended the conference. A unique and memorable event was the award ceremony at the closing banquet in West Lake Restaurant. Distin- guished Research Awards were presented to ten scientists who devoted their entire career to rice blast research. Eight of these distinguished scientists were able to attend the conference and accepted the recognition plaque prepared by the Rice Blast Executive Committee and the 4th IRBC Organizing Committee. The confer- ence concluded with dramatic traditional Chinese dances and performances. By all accounts, the 4th IRBC was a success and once again united the international com- munity of scientists studying this ancient and devastating disease of rice. We now look forward to hearing the next major advances and insights shared when rice blast research community assembles in Arkansas, USA in 2010.
