Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 11 Plant diseases are destructive and
threaten virtually any crop grown on a commercial scale. They are
kept in check by plant breeding strategies that have introgressed
disease resistance genes into many important crops, and by the
deployment of costly control measures, such as antibiotics and
fungicides. However, the capacity for the agents of plant disease -
viruses, bacteria, fungi and oomycetes - to adapt to new
conditions, overcoming disease resistance and becoming resistant to
pesticides, is very great. For these reasons, understanding the
biology of plant diseases is essential for the development of
durable control strategies. This volume provides an overview of our
current knowledge of plant-pathogen interactions and the
establishment of plant disease, drawing together fundamental new
information on plant infection mechanisms and host responses. The
role of molecular signals, gene regulation and the physiology of
pathogenic organisms are emphasised, but the role of the prevailing
environment in the conditioning of disease is also discussed. This
is a book for researchers and professionals in plant pathology,
cell biology, molecular biology and genetics.
