Far from being passive elements in the landscape, plants have
developed many sophisticated chemical and mechanical means of
deterring organisms that seek to prey on them. This volume draws
together research from ecology, evolution, agronomy, and plant
pathology to produce an ecological genetics perspective on plant
resistance in both natural and agricultural systems. By emphasizing
the ecological and evolutionary basis of resistance, the book makes
an important contribution to the study of how phytophages and
plants coevolve.
"Plant Resistance to Herbivores and Pathogens" not only reviews
the literature pertaining to plant resistance from a number of
traditionally separate fields but also examines significant
questions that will drive future research. Among the topics
explored are selection for resistance in plants and for virulence
in phytophages; methods for studying natural variation in plant
resistance; the factors that maintain intraspecific variation in
resistance; and the ecological consequences of within-population
genetic variation for herbivorous insects and fungal pathogens.
"A comprehensive review of the theory and information on a large,
rapidly growing, and important subject."2;Douglas J. Futuyma, State
University of New York, Stony Brook
