Plant-Pathogen Interactions: Annual Plant Reviews, Volume Eleven

For the past century, it has been known that plants possess genetically inherited resistance mechanisms to combat phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria, and viruses, and that the relationship between pathogens and host plants is often highly specialized and complex. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of a range of plant-pathogen interaction--plant viral, plant-bacterial, plant-fungal, and plant-oomycete--emphasizing the broader understanding that has emerged from the use of molecular genetics and genomics. It highlights those interactions that have been most widely studied and those in which genome information has provided a new level of understanding.
