In recent years, our understanding of the mechanisms involved in a plant's resistance to attack by disease,
has seen major advances.
This important new title book provides cutting edge reviews of each of the major aspects of the subject . It
includes contributions from many of the world's leading researcher in the area. Coverage includes the
evolution of plant-virus interactions and plant resistance loci, the role of plant secondary metabolites,
plant systemic resistance, oomycete genomics, intracellular immune receptors, transcriptional reprogramming,
fungal biotrophy, chemical ecology of plant-insect interactions, bacterial Type III effectors
and host perception
of PAMPs
This book will be of interest to all those involved in plant-pathogen interactions including plant and
agricultural scientists, molecular biologists and microbiologists.
