Loebenstein, Gad and John Peter Carr (eds.)
Natural Resistance Mechanisms of Plants to Viruses. 2006. XXIV, 532 p. gr8vo. Hardcover.
This book is a first attempt to link well known plant resistance phenomena with emerging concepts in molecular biology. Resistance phenomena such as the local lesion response, induced resistance, 'greenislands' and resistance in various crop plants are linked with newinformation on gene-silencing mechanisms, gene silencing suppressors,movement proteins and plasmodesmatal gating, downstream signalling components, etc.
