This book is a first attempt to link well known plant resistance phenomena with emerging concepts in molecular
biology. Resistance phenomena such as the local lesion response, induced resistance, "green islands" and
resistance in various crop plants are linked with new information on gene-silencing mechanisms, gene silencing
suppressors, movement proteins and plasmodesmatal gating, downstream signalling components, etc.
Written for plant virologists, plant molecular biologists, plant pathologists, plant applied biologists, plant
breeders, general virologists
