Molecular Aspects of Plant-Pathogen Interaction

The book offers an integrated overview of plant–pathogen interactions. It discusses all the steps in the pathway, from the microbe–host-cell interface and the plant’s recognition of the microbe to the plant’s defense response and biochemical alterations t

Preface

Pathogen attack has been one of the chief constrains that reduce crop productivity worldwide. Plants have established sophisticated mechanisms to counter and acclimatize over these invading pathogens at physiological, biochemical as well as molecular levels. Due to severe crop losses by pathogen outbreak, it is mandatory to completely understand the resistance/defense mechanisms against pathogen and develop advanced tactics to improve biotic stress tolerance in crop plants. We present this book with an objective to realize the plant defense against different pathogens better and to document fundamentals as well as recent findings. This book has an amalgamation of basic information about disease resistance along with current insights into plant-pathogen interaction. The book has 15 chapters to disseminate the most updated information and detailed overviews on the present knowledge on molecular aspects of plant responses and adaptation to biotic stresses
