Synopsis

Understanding the mechanisms by which plants handle attack by pathogens, herbivores, or endure abiotic stress is a crucial step toward improving plant productivity and crop yields in the face of dwindling global agricultural resources. This book examines the ability of plants to tolerate attacks and stresses in a manner designed to be useful to those already knowledgeable in the fields of plant resistance mechanisms, and those interested in learning more about these phenomena. This book is suitable for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and those teaching upper-level undergraduate or graduate-level courses in plant physiology or plant pathology.

À propos de l?auteur

Dr. Tuzun, currently a full professor at Auburn University, is a molecular plant pathologist and pioneer in the field of induced systemic resistance.

Dr. Bent, currently a postdoctoral researcher in the laboratory of Dr. James Borneman at the Unviersity of California - Riverside, is investigating the microbial basis of disease suppression in soil. She has degrees in microbiology and soil science, and has investigated a variety of interactions between plants and microorganisms or microfauna in the rhizosphere.
