Annual Plant Reviews, Molecular Aspects of Plant Disease Resistance

Ed. by Jane Parker

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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, part of Blackwell Publishing s Annual Plant Reviews Series, provides cutting edge reviews of each of the major aspects of the subject .

Edited by Dr Jane Parker from the Max-Planck Institute, Molecular Aspects of Plant Disease Resistance 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 exciting book is essential reading for all those involved in plant-pathogen interactions including plant and agricultural scientists, molecular biologists and microbiologists.
