Insights into Nonhost Disease Resistance: Can They Assist Disease Control in Agriculture?

From: Plant Cell | Date: March 1, 2006| Author: | Copyright information

The often-stated truism that most plant species are resistant to most plant pathogens reflects the many observations that a pathogen isolated from one plant species in most cases cannot infect, reproduce, and cause disease on other distantly related species. What determines pathogen host range is an important and intriguing question in fundamental host-pathogen biology. Many studies have investigated this area with biochemical, pharmacological, and microscopy studies, and now several recent publications (Collins et al., 2003; Lipka et al., 2005), including one in this issue of The Plant Cell ...
