Induced or acquired resistance to disease in plants has been known
for many years, but the phenomenon was studied in only a few
laboratories until about a decade ago. Since then, there has been
an increasing interest in induced resistance as a new,
environmentally safe means of disease control, as well as a model
for the study of the genes involved in host defence and the signals
that control them. This increased interest led the editors of
Induced Resistance to Disease in Plants to collect and summarise
much of the current and older literature on the topic in a single
volume. Each chapter covers its topic as comprehensively as
possible, thus serving as a solid introduction to the literature,
as well as expressing its writer's own views on the state of
research in the area and giving an indication of where future
research may lead. Induced Resistance to Disease in Plants
addresses the biology of induced resistance in legumes, solanaceae,
cucurbits and monocots, since these are the families that have
received the most attention, followed by a discussion of the
molecular basis of induced resistance, its genetic and evolutionary
significance, and practical applications in disease control. The
book will provide a background for those commencing work in the
area, as well as a source of information for established workers
who wish to learn about other areas of induced resistance.
