Research on biologically active compounds has been increased in order to improve plant
protection against various environmental stresses. Among natural sources, plants are the …

As outlined in Chapter 1, pathogenesis-related proteins (PR proteins) were initially identified
in tobacco plants reacting hypersensitively to tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) infection. The PR …

A great deal of research has been focused on the isolation, characterization, and regulation
of expression of pathogenesis-related proteins since the discovery that several of the PR …

The protein content of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) xylem sap was found to change
dramatically upon infection with the vascular wilt fungus Fusarium oxysporum. Peptide mass …

An easy-to-use single reference source covering the full range of subject areas associated
with plant pathology! This comprehensive volume covers the entire field of plant pathology. It …

Tomato spotted wilt tospovirus (TSWV), one of the most important plant viruses, causes yield
losses to many crops including tomato. The current disease management for TSWV is based …

Plant diseases are major constraints to plant growth and development (Table 3.1), resulting
in crop losses greater than those caused by insects and weeds combined (Agrios 1988) …
