Plant-Pathogen Interactions: Methods and Protocols

Plant—Pathogen Interactions: Methods and Prools, Second Edition expands upon the first edition with current, detailed prools for the study of plant pathogen genome sequences. It contains new chapters on techniques to help identify and characterize effectors and to study their impacts on host immunity and their roles in pathogen biology. Additional chapters focus on prools to identify avirulence and resistance genes, investigate the roles of effector targets and other defence—associated proteins in plant immunity. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step—by—step, readily reproducible laboratory prools and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and cutting—edge, Plant—Pathogen Interactions: Methods and Prools, Second Edition seeks to aid scientists in the further study of plant immunity.
