The co-evaluation of plants and microbes has led to an elaborate system of genes involved in recognitions, attack and defence. This volume explores the genes and the regulation of their expression. Topics covered range from considerations of population genetics to the identification of defence-related genes and their regulation. The book provides a concise review of the latest developments in this rapidly developing field of agronomic importance.

Many fungi and bacteria that associate with plants are potentially harmful and can cause disease, while others enter into mutually beneficial sym- bioses. Co-evolution of plants with pathogenic and symbiotic microbes has lead to refined mechanisms of reciprocal recognition, defense and counter- defense. Genes in both partners determine and regulate these mechanisms. A detailed understanding of these genes provides basic biological insights as well as a starting point for developing novel methods of crop protection against pathogens. This volume deals with defense-related genes of plants and...
