Fungal Pathogenesis in Plants and Crops

Molecular Biology and Host Defense Mechanisms, Second Edition

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Completely updated and revised, this second edition of the widely acclaimed Fungal Pathogenesis in Plants and Crops covers the fungal infection process, molecular host-defense mechanisms, and events leading to the suppression of these defense mechanisms by fungal pathogens. This second edition features new chapters on disease resistance, susceptibility genes in signal perception and emission, and cell death signaling in disease susceptibility and resistance. It also provides additional material on phytoalexins, toxins, signal perception and transduction in fungal pathogenesis, and 17 families of pathogenesis-related proteins.
