Delivery and Perception of Pathogen Signals in Plants

Summarizing the 8th Japan-U.S. seminar on plant-pathogen interactions this book presents cutting-edge research on plant-microbe interactions. Delivery and Perception of Pathogen Signals in Plants features several papers containing original, significant research on the mechanisms of plant-pathogen interactions and a historical overview of the field of plant-microbe interactions.

Plant pathologists, microbiologists, agronomists and plant biologists interested in current information on plant-pathogen interactions.

The research presented in this book utilizes plants ranging from Arabidopsis to soybean and includes information on:
-- emerging research dealing with how fungal pathogens compromise host plants
-- mechanisms involving bacterial effector gene products that confer virulence or avirulence functions in plants
-- active plant defense signaling pathways occurring in response to recognition of pathogen elicitors

...provides a good overview with respect to current research activities and is worthwhile reading for plant pathologists engaged in investigations on host pathogen interactions. --Journal of Phytopathology

...most useful for animal or microbial cell and molecular biologists who want an indication of current research into signaling in plant-pathogen interactions. --Australian Plant Pathology
