Aims and Scope The book series is intended for readers ranging from advanced students to senior research scientists and corporate directors interested in acquiring in-depth, state-of-the-art knowledge about research findings and techniques related to plant science and biotechnology. While the subject matter will relate more particularly to agricultural applications, timely topics in basic science and biotechnology will also be explored. Some volumes will report progress in rapidly advancing disciplines through proceedings of symposia and workshops while others will detail fundamental information of an enduring nature that will be referenced repeatedly.
The titles published in this series are listed at the end of this volume.

PREFACE Research on the molecular biology of interactions between plants and microbes has become one of the most vigorous areas of plant science. Microbes, in the form of deleterious pathogens or beneficial symbionts and antagonists of pests and pathogens, play an important role in growth of plants in natural environments, including agricultural systems. It has become apparent that there are numerous mechanistic similarities in the diverse set of plant-microbe interactions being studied in laboratories throughout the world. The ma
