| Summary: | This book provides comprehensive, up-to-date descriptions of cellular aspects of interactions between plants and microorganisms, including lichens, and also covers infections by viruses, trypanosomes and nematodes. The detailed reviews are accompanied by nearly 250 appropriate micrographs. Topics covered include: techniques that may be of use in studying plant infections such as colloidal gold cytochemistry, in situ hybridization, histochemical detection of polyphenols, cytodetection of pathogens, monoclonal antibodies and image analysis; host aggression by bacteria, fungi and nematodes with emphasis on adhesion, penetration and plant cell modifications; defense mechanisms of infected plants, including trees, cytolocalization of molecules involved in host resistance, plant responses to parasites or symbiotic microorganisms. Comparisons are also given between pathogenic interactions and mutualistic associations. Audience: An invaluable source of information and references for research scientists and students interested not only in plant-microbe interactions but also in cell biology in general. |
