Genes Involved in Plant Defense (Plant Gene Research)

The co-evolution of plants and microbes has led to an elaborate system of genes involved in recognition, attack and defense. This volume deals with these genes and regulation of their expression. The topic is treated broadly ranging from considerations of population genetics to the identification of defense-related genes and their regulation.
