Molecular Aspects of Plant Disease Resistance provides cutting edge reviews on major aspects of plant immunity from many of the world's leading researchers in the area.

Coverage includes:

• Establishment of disease by microbial pathogens
• Genomic approaches to understanding host-pathogen interactions
• Local and systemic resistance signalling
• Activities of small bioactive molecules
• Plant-insect ecology
