Understanding the molecular basis of the plant immune system has implications on the development of new varieties of sustainable crops, understanding the challenges plant life will face in changing environments, as well as providing a window into immune function that could have translational appeal to human medicine.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMolecular Plant Immunity\u003c\/i\u003e opens with chapters reviewing how the first line of plant immune response is activated followed by chapters looking at the molecular mechanisms that allow fungi, bacteria, and oomycetes to circumvent those defenses. Plant resistance proteins, which provide the second line of plant immune defense, are then covered followed by chapters on the role of hormones in immunity and the mechanisms that modulate specific interaction between plants and viruses. The final chapters look at model plant-pathogen systems to review interaction between plants and fungal, bacterial, and viral pathogens.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Written by a leading team of international experts, \u003ci\u003eMolecular Plant Immunity\u003c\/i\u003e will provide a needed resource to diverse research community investigated plant immunity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContributors xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 1 The Rice Xa21 Immune Receptor Recognizes a Novel Bacterial Quorum Sensing Factor 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eChang Jin Park and Pamela C.
