Plant diseases worldwide are responsible for billions of dollars
worth of crop losses every year. With less agrochemicals being used
and less new fungicides coming on the market due to environmental
concerns, more effort is now being put into the use of genetic
potential of plants for pathogen resistance and the development of
induced or acquired resistance as an environmentally safe means of
disease control.
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
population biology, trade offs associated with induced resistance
and integration of induced resistance in crop protection. The book
concludes with a consideration of socio-economic drivers
determining the use of induced resistance, and the future of
induced resistance in crop protection.
