Product Description
Dramatic progress in molecular biology and genetic engineering has recently produced an unparalleled wealth of information on the mechanisms of plant and pathogen interactions at the cellular and molecular levels. Completely revised and expanded, Fungal Pathogenesis in Plants and Crops: Molecular Biology and Host Defense Mechanisms, Second Edition offers fresh insight into the interplay of signaling systems in plant and pathogen interactions. The book delineates the battle between plant and fungal pathogen and the complex signaling systems involved.

Product Description
Forms part of the three-volume set, Pathogenesis & Host Specificity in Plant Diseases, and deals with pathogenesis and host specificity in plant viruses and viroids.

Pathogenesis & Host Specificity in Plant Diseases as a whole is the first complete publication covering the mechanism of host specificity and pathogenesis in plant diseases, bringing together all knowledge about plant pathology into one fully comprehensive source. The main aim of the work is to compile, critically analyze and correlate the information available on all aspects of pathogenesis and host specificity in important plant-pathogen systems representing different types of parasitism and symbiotic, mutualistic and antagonistic associations. Over 100 authors have contributed state-of-the-art chapters, all of whom are internationally recognised as leading experts in their fields. Subject matter is clear and readable throughout and is supported by cl ... Read more

Product Description
This volume mainly reports on new and recent advances ofdifferent aspects of Pseudomonas syringae, a plant pathogenicbacterial species that includes a high number of pathogens ofimportant crops, which is an important model organism in plantpathology. In addition also some fluorescent Pseudomonas spp.,responsible for new and emerging diseases, as well as pathogenspreviously included in the above genus and now classified in theGenera Ralstonia, Acidovorax are considered. Each chapter, cured by leading scientists in the field, reports recentknowledge on the ecology and epidemiology, molecular, physiologicaland biochemical aspects of pathogen-plant interactions, diseasemanagement and control, diagnosis and detection, and taxonomy ofP. syringae. This book is an important tool for graduate students, as well asresearch plant pathologists, plant bacteriologists, plant microbemolecular biologists and cell microbe biologists. ... Read more

Product Description
The field of the molecular basis of plant disease is rapidly developing. The nineteen chapters of current information in Molecular Strategies of Pathogens and Host Plants are written by well known experts in the United States and Japan, and cover recent progress in the genetics and molecular biology of bacteria and fungi which are pathogens of plants. This research emphasizes the genes which are responsible for production of toxins, enzymes, and hormones that lead to pathogenicity and specificity in plant-pathogen interactions. Several chapters also examine the biochemistry of the plant's response to microbial attack. ... Read more
