• 1 Resistance to Tobacco Mosaic Virus in Tobacco Plants.- 2 Black Rot of Crucifers.- 3 The Tomato Interaction A Model System to Study Gene-For-Gene Relationships.- 4 The Barley/Blumeria (Syn. Erysiphe) graminis Interaction Hans Thordal-Christensen,.- 2 Genetics of Disease resistance Basic Concepts and Application in Resistance Breeding.- 3 Resistance in Populations.- 4 Resistance Genes and the Perception and transduction of Elicitor Signals in Host-Pathogen interactions.- 5 Structural Aspects of Defense.- 6 The Hypersensitive Response.- 7 Antimicrobial Compounds and Resistance The Role of Phytoalexins and Phytoanticipins.- 8 Induced and Preformed antimicrobial Proteins.- 9 Special Aspects of Resistance to Viruses.- 10 Systemic induced Resistance.- 11 Transgenic Approaches to Control Epidemic Spread Of Diseases.- Species Index.

'The work is an excellent and advanced textbook on resistance mechanisms to plant diseases and host-pathogen interactions. In addition to the scientific value of individual chapters, the highly didactic approach taken is of benefit. The book can therefore, be used not only by researchers but also advanced students of biology and agriculture focused on plant pathology. Authors, editors and publishers are to be recommended for an excellent piece of work.' Plant Protection Science, 37:4 (2001)
