Scientists are continually making exciting discoveries concerning the interactions between microbes and plants, interactions which may be damaging, in the case of plant pathogens, or beneficial, as in the case of nitrogen fixation. This new volume in the successful and well received Chapman & Hall Plant-Microbe Interaction series is an exciting and broad-ranging view of the outstanding work being done in this area.
Plant Pathogenesis-related proteins in plants. Toxins produced by plant pathogens. Use of reporter genes to study microbial habitats in plants and in plant-microbe associations. Signal transduction pathways leading to an oxidative burst. Hrp gene regulation in plant pathogens. Polygalacturonase inhibitor proteins. Peptide elicitors triggering a hypersensitive response (HR) and systemic acquired resistance (SAR): the elicitin case. Autoinduction systems in plant associated microorganisms. Methods for the study of plant genetics.
