Biochemical Responses of Plants to Fungal Attack

  • Chapter
Chemically Mediated Interactions between Plants and Other Organisms

Part of the book series: Recent Advances in Phytochemistry ((RAPT,volume 19))

Abstract

This review will concentrate on developments in the literature since the publication of excellent reviews edited by Bailey and Mansfield) and by Wood2 which should be consulted for a general overview. It is written with the preformed conclusion that active defense mechanisms are involved in fungi-plant interactions resulting in the resistance of some plants to some fungi.
