Biological Control of Plant Diseases
The papers contained in this book were presented at a NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) held at Cape Sounion, Athens, Greece, 19-24 May, 1991. The twenty-eight more comprehensive papers represent the key subjects of the ARW covered by invited speakers. The thirty-four short papers pre sented in a research format are contributions of those invited to participate in the ARW. There was a total of 70 participants from 21 countries. The objectives of the ARW were as follows: to review current knowledge of biological control of plant diseases and plant parasitic nematodes, with emphasis on mechanisms at the molecular, cellular, organismal, and ecosystem level; to examine and expand on current concepts and synthesize new concepts; to identify and prioritize limitations in the use of biological control for plant diseases and nematodes and the scientific research needed to overcome these limitations; and to develop strategies for biological control through management of resident agents or introduction of natural or modified agents.

Compatible host-pathogen interactions; Host-parasite incompatibility; New directions in development of plants resistance to disease.
Delivery and Perception of Pathogen Signals in Plants
An overview of the past 50 years of plant microbe research heads 26 papers from the 8th Japan-US Cooperative Science Seminar on "Plant perception of pathogen signals" held in June 1999 in Marina del Ray, CA. Parallels between plant and animal host defense systems is a major theme. Historical topics of interest that continue to draw attention include: growth hormones, fungal and bacterial toxins, the avirulent gene concept, pathogen elicitors and hypersensitive responses, and the avirulence and harpin molecules. A new seminar focus is Hrp delivery system and apoptosis. Keen is at the U. of California, Riverside. Lacks an index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
Advances in Plant Glycosides, Chemistry and Biology
In the plant kingdom a variety of chemical constituents occur in a glycoside form (conjugation with sugar). Glycosides are important, secondary metabolites. The structural diversity is a result of the vast amount of varieties and stereochemical configurations of the sugar component. Aglycones belong to terpenoid, steroid, flavonoid, quinonoid, lignan, other simple phenolics, and isothiocyanate. However, biological activities of glycosides are, in many cases, susceptible to the nature of sugar moieties, even though their aglycone is the same.Since the 80s, plant glycosides have been attracting an increasing volume of interest from botanists and phytochemists world-wide for the following reaso...
Recognition and Specificity in Plant Host-parasite Interactions
Genetic information and specificity. Cytological events in recognition and specificity. Constitutive recognition of specificity. Induction of host responses for incompatibility and compatibility.
Molecular Aspects of Pathogenicity and Resistance
Topics include the mechanisms that facilitate communication between the cells of plants and pathogens and within individual cells, and the role that these mechanisms play in plant-pathogen interactions.
