Leading international experts in botany, plant pathology, and plant breeding review cutting-edge research on plant disease resistance toward mitigating and preventing outbreaks of crop diseases caused by fungi and related organisms. Punja (biological sciences, Simon Fraser U., Burnaby, British Columbia) introduces seven papers discussing plant cell defense mechanisms and responses, the role in resistance of pathogenesis-related proteins, fungus genes as they relate to disease susceptibility/resistance, bioengineering approaches to induce resistance, and their practical applications.
