Each plant-pathogen interaction involves a two-way molecular communication. On one hand, the pathogen perceives signals from the plant, secretes chemical arsenals to establish infection courts, and produces metabolites that disrupt structural integrity, alter cellular function, and circumvent host defenses. On the other hand, the plant senses the signals from the pathogen, reinforces its cell walls, and accumulates phytoalexins and pathogenesis-related proteins in an attempt to defend itself. The production of pathogenicity and virulence factors by the pathogen, the elicitation of defense mechanisms by the plant, and the dynamic interaction of the two are the focal points of this book. The book will be of interest to researchers and advanced undergraduate and graduate students in the areas of plant pathology, plant physiology, and plant biochemistry.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Review from Plant Pathology (2003) 52, 114-117,
By A Customer
This review is from: Plant Pathogenesis and Resistance: Biochemistry and Physiology of Plant-Microbe Interactions (Hardcover)
"Overall the design and the quality of the book are good. The layout is easy to follow and the diagrams and tables are of a high standard. The publisher suggests that the book will be of interest to researchers, advanced undergraduates and graduate students in the areas of plant pathology, plant physiology and plant biochemistry, and we would agree with this... One asset of the book is the extensive reference lists included in each chapter; these would be very helpful for someone new to the area since they are generally up-to-date and include full titles, enabling informed choices to be made by those wanting to do further reading."
