Walters, Dale (Scottish Agricultural College) / Newton, Adrian C. (Scottish Crop Research Institute, Dundee, UK) / Lyon, Gary (Scottish Crop Research Institute, Dundee, UK)
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. Further chapters consider the topical application of inducers for disease control, microbial induction of pathogen resistance, transgenic approaches, pathogen populatio...
