Informationen zum Autor Dale Walters, Crop and Soil Research Group, Scottish Agricultural College, Edinburgh, U.K. Adrian Newton, Scottish Crops Research Institute, Dundee, U.K. Gary Lyon, Scottish Crops Research Institute, Dundee, U.K. Klappentext Induced Resistance for Plant Defence provides comprehensive details of the science, methodology and applications of this important subject, which now offers the prospect of broad spectrum, long lasting and potentially environmentally benign disease control in plants. The cutting edge contents of this extremely important book include coverage of cellular aspects of induced resistance, including signaling and defence mechanisms, the trade offs associated with the expression of induced resistance, work on integrating induced resistance into crop protection practice and induced resistance from a commercial perspective. With chapters written by internationally-respected contributors from around the world, each edited and integrated by three editors known for their work in this area, Induced Resistance for Plant Defence will be of great interest and use to plant pathologists, plant cell and molecular biologists, agricultural scientists, crop protection specialists and personnel working in the agrochemical industry. All libraries in universities and research establishments where biological and agricultural sciences are studied and taught should have copies of this important book on their shelves. Zusammenfassung This comprehensive book examines in depth the development and exploitation of induced resistance. Chapters review current knowledge of the agents that can elicit induced resistance! genomics! signalling cascades! mechanisms of defence to pests and pathogens and molecular tools.
