Synopsis
Understanding the mechanisms by which plants handle attack by pathogens, herbivores, or endure abiotic stress is a crucial step toward improving plant productivity and crop yields in the face of dwindling global agricultural resources. This book examines the ability of plants to tolerate attacks and stresses in a manner designed to be useful to those already knowledgeable in the fields of plant resistance mechanisms, and those interested in learning more about these phenomena. This book is suitable for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and those teaching upper-level undergraduate or graduate-level courses in plant physiology or plant pathology.

About the Author
Dr. Tuzun, currently a full professor at Auburn University, is a molecular plant pathologist and pioneer in the field of induced systemic resistance.
Dr. Bent, currently a postdoctoral researcher in the laboratory of Dr. James Borneman at the Unviersity of California – Riverside, is investigating the microbial basis of disease suppression in soil. She has degrees in microbiology and soil science, and has investigated a variety of interactions between plants and microorganisms or microfauna in the rhizosphere.
From the Back Cover
This comprehensive volume consists of a series of up-to-date reviews, each incorporating current models and knowledge related to mechanisms of resistance either expressed constitutively or induced systemically in plants. Each chapter covers a topic related to the phenomenon of plant resistance to fungal and bacterial pathogens, insects, nematodes, viruses or abiotic stress in plants, as well as the application of this knowledge to protect crops now and in the future. Researchers, upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, and those teaching courses in plant physiology, entomology and plant pathology will find this volume a much needed asset.
Featured Topics include:
QTL analysis of multigenic disease resistance in plant breeding
Ultrastructural studies in plant disease resistance
Chemical signals in plant resistance: salicylic acid
Signaling in plant resistance responses: divergence and cross-talk of defense pathways
Tree defenses against insects
Chemical signals in plants: jasmonates and the role of insect-derived elicitors in responses to herbivores
Engineering plants for durable disease resistance
Commercialization of plant systemic defense activation: theory, problems and successes

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -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. 544 pp. Englisch.
