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.
