Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of Plant-Pathogen ...

The many recent developments in plant sciences have important practical implications, particularly in the area of food production. This volume contains the proceedings of an international symposium on plant-pathogen interactions. Viral, bacterial, and fungal pathogens are all included and a broad range of topics is covered, from expression of the cucumber mosaic virus, to the molecular genetics of bacterial blight of peas, and molecular responses of potato to infection by Phytophthora infestans. This authoritative volume presents an up-to-date review and will be of interest to all those involved in plant physiology, plant molecular biology, biotechnology, and food production.br1.
