Thyme: The Genus Thymus

Campbell, Christy

<p>Plant innate immunity is a collective term to describe a complex of interconnected mechanisms that plants use to withstand potential pathogens and herbivores. The last decade has seen a rapid advance in our understanding of the induction, signal transduction and expression of resistance responses to oomycetes, fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes and insects. This volume aims at providing an overview of these processes and mechanisms.Edited by Jean-Claude Kader and Michel Delseny and supported by an international Editorial Board, <i>Advances in Botanical Research</i> publishes in-depth and up-to-date reviews on a wide range of topics in plant sciences. </p>
