Plants are the ecosystem's primary source and have a direct or indirect impact on human
life. Pathogens and insect's interference into the plants contribute to enormous losses in …

The study of plant–biotic stress interactions is an exciting and fast-moving research field built
around a dialog concerning plants with other alive organisms. In the last decades, it has …

Plants defend themselves against pathogen attack by activating a multicomponent defense
response. The activation of this response requires recognition of the pathogen and initiation …

Plants are capable of recognizing the penetrating pathogens and of responding to their
attack by the activation of the defense systems. Signal transduction from the receptor to the …

During the course of their coevolution, plants and pathogens have evolved an intricate
relationship, resulting from a continuous exchange of molecular information. Pathogens …

Plants can produce compounds which act as semiochemicals, that is, signals modifying the
development or behaviour of other organisms without having direct physiological activity …

This book coordinates the research from two disciplines relating to the transduction signals
plants use to mediate induced responses to pathogens and herbivores. Forty-four scientists …

Publisher Summary Plants are equipped with a wide array of constitutive deterrents that
include both toxic chemicals and mechanical barriers. In addition to these, there is a …

The sustainable production of foodstuff to nurse the increasing world population is a
foremost challenge for plant scientists, especially due to the dynamic and unpredictable …

Being sessile organisms, plants are persistently confronted by a diverse array of biotic
agents, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, herbivores, and nematodes. Understanding the …
