This book synthesizes new information about the environmental advantages of plant resistance, transgenic
resistance, the molecular bases of resistance, and the use of molecular markers to map resistance genes.
Readers are presented in-depth descriptions of techniques to quantify resistance, factors affecting resistance
expression, and the deployment of resistance genes. New information about gene-for-gene interactions between
resistant plants and arthropod biotypes is discussed along with the recent examples of using arthropod resistant
plants in integrated pest management systems.
Written for graduates, scientists, researchers
