Description for Natural Resistance Mechanisms of Plants to Viruses
Hardback. Attempts to link well-known plant resistance phenomena with various concepts in molecular biology. This book links resistance phenomena such as the local lesion response, induced resistance, 'green islands' and resistance in various crop plants to information on gene-silencing mechanisms, and gene silencing suppressors. Editor(s): Loebenstein, Gad; Carr, John Peter. Num Pages: 532 pages, 7 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PSTP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 25. Weight in Grams: 1096.
Over the course of evolution most plants have acquired the ability to defend themselves against most groups of pathogens, including the viruses. Many antiviral resistance phenomena have been known and studied for decades but, until recently, understanding of their underlying mechanisms has lagged behind. These phenomena include resistance to infection, resistance to virus translocation through the plant, recovery from infection and genetically defined resistance, together with the associated phenomena of the local lesion response, and induced, or acquired, resistance. The identification and cloning of plant resistance genes, characterization of downstream signaling components, and especially the explosion of data regarding gene-silencing ... Read more
