Molecular Aspects of Plant Disease Resistance

Edited by Jane Parker

In recent years, our understanding of the mechanisms involved in
plant resistance to disease has seen major advances. This important
new volume in Wiley-Blackwell’s Annual Plant Reviews provides
cutting edge reviews on major aspects of plant immunity from many
of the world’s leading researchers in the area. Coverage
includes:

* Establishment of disease by microbial pathogens

* Genomic approaches to understanding host-pathogen
interactions

* Local and systemic resistance signalling

* Activities of small bioactive molecules

* Plant-insect ecology

This exciting volume 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.
