Plant-microbe Interactions 2

This second edition covers all aspects of plant-microbe interactions. Edited by recognized experts in the field, this book, from the Chapman and Hall Plant-Microbe Interaction Series, reflects the current state of knowledge of plant-microbe relationships and provides convenient summaries of the latest research in this fast-advancing discipline. This volume includes coverage of: biosynthesis and host specificity of rhizobial lipo-chitin oligosaccharide signal molecules; metabolism and compartmentation of carbon and nitrogen in legume nodules; avirulence genes; saponin detoxification by phytopathogenic fungi; the biology and molecular epidemology of the geminiviridae subgroup III; viral virulence genes. It aims to provide professional researchers and graduate students with an increased understanding of the interactions between microorganisms and plants. In addition, plant-molecular biologists, biotechnologists, and plant-pathologists should also benefit from the information contained in this volume.
