| Summary |
Attempts to link plant resistance phenomena with concepts in molecular biology. Resistance phenomena such as local lesion response, induced resistance, ""green islands"" and resistance in various crop plants are linked with information on gene-silencing mechanisms, gene silencing suppressors, movement proteins and plasmodesmatal gating, and more |
