Studies on the phenomenon of plant pathogenesis (disease
development) have been useful to have a deep insight into the
interactions between host plant and the pathogen. Depending on the
levels of susceptibility (compatibility) or resistance
(incompatibility) of the host plant and virulence of the pathogen,
disease development may progress, either leading to symptom
expression or result in the suppression of pathogen proliferation.
Molecular techniques have been applied to elucidate the nature of
interactions between the gene products of the plant and pathogen at
cellular and molecular levels. Successful evasion of host's
surveillance system and subsequent activities of metabolites of the
pathogen (enzymes and toxins) encoded by pathogen genes
counteracting the effects of various defense-related antimicrobial
compounds present already or produced by the host plants, after
initiation of infection have been critically studied by applying
various molecular techniques. In addition to studying various
phases of disease development in individual plants, molecular
methods have been demonstrated to be effective, in gathering data
on various aspects of epidemiology under natural conditions where
the interaction of pathogen with populations of plants is
influenced significantly by the environmental conditions existing
in different ecosystems. This volume focuses on the possibility of
applying the knowledge on pathogenesis and molecular epidemiology
to determine the vulnerable stages in the life cycles of the
pathogens that can be disrupted to achieve more effective disease
control.
