Molecular Aspects of Plant Disease Resistance
Edited by Jane Parker
New & Recommended by APS PRESS!
In recent years, our understanding of the mechanisms involved in plant
resistance to disease has seen major advances. This important new volume
provides cutting-edge reviews on major aspects of plant immunity from many of
the world’s leading researchers in the area. It is essential reading for all
those studying plant-pathogen interactions, including plant and agricultural
scientists, molecular biologists, geneticists, and microbiologists. Libraries in
all universities and research establishments where biological and agricultural
sciences are studied and taught should have copies of this important volume on
their shelves. Coverage includes establishment of disease by microbial
pathogens; genomic approaches to understanding host-pathogen interactions; local
and systemic resistance signaling; activities of small bioactive molecules; and
plant-insect ecology.
Contents
