Acknowledgements

I am grateful to collaborators from the former National Grassland Research Institute, National Institute of Livestock and Grassland Science, National Institute of Agro-Environmental Sciences and National Institute of Floricultural Science, especially Drs. Toru Sato, Takashi Kimigafukuro, Tsutomu Uematsu, Akitoshi Tajimi, Tadayukil Shimanuki, and Hironori Koga. I deeply appreciate the late Profs. Wataru Iida, Kazuya Hirano and Yoshimiki Amemiya who invited me to study plant pathology in Chiba University. The late Prof. Mitsuya Tsuda and Prof. Chihiro Tanaka kindly taught me many things at Kyoto University in 1990. I also extend heartfelt thanks to the many researchers at NARO and many universities for their guidance and continuous support, temporary workers in my laboratories, and staff at prefectural agricultural experiment stations, especially in Yamaguchi Prefecture, for their collaboration in my work and comments on my research.
