Plants are endowed with innate immune system, which acts as a
surveillance system against possible attack by pathogens. Plant
innate immune systems have high potential to fight against viral,
bacterial, oomycete and fungal pathogens and protect the crop
plants against wide range of diseases. However, the innate immune
system is a sleeping system in unstressed healthy plants. Fast and
strong activation of the plant immune responses aids the host
plants to win the war against the pathogens. Plant hormone
signaling systems including salicylate (SA), jasmonate (JA),
ethylene (ET), abscisic acid (ABA), auxins, cytokinins,
gibberellins and brassinosteroids signaling systems play a key role
in activation of the sleeping immune systems. Suppression or
induction of specific hormone signaling systems may result in
disease development or disease resistance. Specific signaling
pathway has to be activated to confer resistance against specific
pathogen in a particular host. Two forms of induced resistance,
systemic acquired resistance (SAR) and induced systemic resistance
(ISR), have been recognized based on the induction of specific
hormone signaling systems. Specific hormone signaling system
determines the outcome of plant-pathogen interactions, culminating
in disease development or disease resistance. Susceptibility or
resistance against a particular pathogen is determined by the
action of the signaling network. The disease outcome is often
determined by complex network of interactions among multiple
hormone signaling pathways. Manipulation of the complex hormone
signaling systems and fine tuning the hormone signaling events
would help in management of various crop diseases. The purpose of
the book is to critically examine the potential methods to
manipulate the multiple plant hormone signaling systems to aid the
host plants to win the battle against pathogens.
