This book provides a complete and cohesive assessment of plant defence mechanisms in response to various biotic stresses. It also discusses the use of genetic engineering and molecular breeding to generate pathogen-resistant crops, as well as several case studies in the area. In addition, this work offers a path forward for dealing with impending issues. The study of host-pathogen interactions is concerned with the ongoing battle between plants and pathogens throughout their evolution which is generally complex. The appropriate updated information contained in this book, makes it a valuable source of knowledge for all those working in crop development as it presents a comprehensive picture of plant-pathogen interaction.

Key Features:

  • Provides both fundamental and cutting-edge information on the molecular mechanisms underlying plant-pathogen interactions.

  • Gives a comprehensive picture of the plant-pathogen interaction, from the microbe’s sensing to the molecular and biochemical changes that occur in plants to attain tolerance/resistance.

  • Based on a thorough review of the literature, this book discusses all elements of pathogen detection, signalling and immunity.

  • It lays out a strategy for dealing with impending issues and outlines specific steps to address them effectively.

  • All chapters will be provided with relevant figures, and the discussion and arguments will be supported by data tables with pertinent references.
