Plants have developed very sophisticated mechanisms to combat
pathogens and
pestsusingtheleastamountofreservedorgeneratedenergypossible.
Theydothis by activating major defense mechanisms after recognition
of the organisms that are considered to be detrimental to their
survival; therefore they have been able to exist on Earth longer
than any other higher organisms. It has been known for the past
century that plants carry genetic information for inherited
resistance against many pathogenic organisms including fungi,
bacteria, and viruses, and that the relationship between pathogenic
organisms and hosts plants are rather complex and in some cases
time dependent. This genetic information has been the basis for
breeding for resistance that has been employed by plant breeders to
develop better-yielding disease resistant varieties, some of which
are still being cultivated. Single gene resistance is one type of
resistance which has been extensively studied by many research
groups all around the world using biotechnological methodologies
that have been the subject of many books and journal articles;
therefore, it is beyond the scope of this book. This type of
resistance is very effective, although it can be overcome by the
pressure of pathogenic organisms since it depends on interaction of
a single elicitor molecule from the pathogen with a single receptor
site in the host.
