Review
This neat collection of nine strong and competent reviews brings together … recent studies … . There is sufficient background material for readers to obtain a good understanding of the parasite and its infection process, and the reviews are illustrated by … figures that are clear and strategically placed. … I find that this volume will be very useful for both inspired undergraduates who plan on initiating honors studies or independent research, and for beginning graduate students. … I am requiring this textbook for ecological and evolutionary geneticists. This primer will help young biologists learn the nuts and bolts of ecological genetics, as well as its practical applications.

Book Description
For the past century, it has been known that plants possess genetically inherited resistance mechanisms to combat phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria, and viruses, and that the relationship between pathogens and host plants is often highly specialized and complex. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of a range of plant-pathogen interaction--plant viral, plant-bacterial, plant-fungal, and plant-oomycete--emphasizing the broader understanding that has emerged from the use of molecular genetics and genomics. It highlights those interactions that have been most widely studied and those in which genome information has provided a new level of understanding.
