{"product_id":"induced-resistance-to-disease-in-r-hammerschmidt-9780792332152","title":"Induced Resistance to Disease in Plants","description":"Induced or acquired resistance to disease in plants has been known for many years, but the phenomenon was studied in only a few laboratories until about a decade ago. Since then, there has been an increasing interest in induced resistance as a new, environmentally safe means of disease control, as well as a model for the study of the genes involved in host defence and the signals that control them. \u003cbr\u003e This increased interest led the editors of \u003cem\u003eInduced Resistance to\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eDisease in Plants\u003c\/em\u003e to collect and summarise much of the current and older literature on the topic in a single volume. Each chapter covers its topic as comprehensively as possible, thus serving as a solid introduction to the literature, as well as expressing its writer's own views on the state of research in the area and giving an indication of where future research may lead. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eInduced Resistance to Disease in Plants\u003c\/em\u003e addresses the biology of induced resistance in legumes, solanaceae, cucurbits and monocots, since these are the families that have received the most attention, followed by a discussion of the molecular basis of induced resistance, its genetic and evolutionary significance, and practical applications in disease control. \u003cbr\u003e The book will provide a background for those commencing work in the area, as well as a source of information for established workers who wish to learn about other areas of induced resistance. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e R.
