This book presents a collection of papers that give a comprehensive
description of the major areas of research on the interactions
between plants and their pathogens. State-of-the-art knowledge
about research on microbial avirulence genes and plant resistance
genes, about pathogenicity factors and signals for establishment of
infection, about elicitors and intermediates in the signalling
pathway, and about the genes involved in plant responses to
pathogens and environmental stress is reviewed. The different
topics covered show that modern tools of plant cellular and
molecular biology are now available to investigate very significant
models of plant-pathogen interactions and to identify the molecular
determinants of the two partners that trigger defence responses,
the signals involved and the mechanism of their transduction, the
spatial and temporal regulation of defence gene expression in
relation to the spread or localization of the pathogen. The first
trials to exploit these results for enhancing plant resistance and
crop field by biotechnology are presented. The book is a main
reference source for research scientists and advanced students.
