J.\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere has been a significant surge of interest in the study of the physiology and biochemistry of plant host-parasite interactions in recent years, as evidenced by the number of research papers currently being published on the subject. The in­ creased interest is probably based on the evidence that effective management of many plant diseases is, for the most part, contingent upon a clear understanding of the nature of host-parasite interactions. This intensified research effort calls for a greater number of books, such as this one, designed to compile, synthesize, and evaluate widely scattered pieces of information on this subject. The study of host-parasite interactions concerns the struggle between plants and pathogens, which has been incessant throughout their coevolution. Such in­ teractions are often highly complex. Pathogens have developed sophisticated of­ fensive systems to parasitize plants, while plants have evolved diversified defen­ sive strategies to ward off potential pathogens. In certain cases, the outcome of a specific host-parasite interaction seems to depend upon the presence or efficacy of the plant's defense system. A plant may become diseased when a parasite manages to invade it, unhindered by preexisting defense systems and\/or without eliciting the plant's induced resistance response(s). Absence of disease may re­ flect the inability of the invading pathogen to overcome the plant's defense sys­ tem(s).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-02-16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781468411515\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4684-1149-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 229cm x152cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 304\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44448593019020,"sku":"9781468411515","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781468411515.jpg?v=1776527244","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781468411515","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
