<p>Plant-Microbe Interactions, Volume 1 Many plant-microbe interactions have agronomic importance because of either beneficial (e.g., nitrogen fixation or biocontrol) or detrimental (e.g., pathogenΒ esis) effects. Although these systems have been the subjects of scientific reΒ search for many years,
<p>Scientists are continually making exciting discoveries concerning the interactions between microbes and plants, interactions which may be damaging, in the case of plant pathogens, or beneficial, as in the case of nitrogen fixation. This new volume in the successful and well received Chapman & Hal
<p>Recent years have seen tremendous progress in unraveling the molecular basis of different plant-microbe interactions. Knowledge has accumulated on the mechaΒ nisms of the microbial infection of plants, which can lead to either disease or resistance. The mechanisms developed by plants to interact
