Molecular Targets for Elicitor Modulation in Bean (Phaseolus Vulgaris) Cells

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIH,volume 1))

Abstract

This chapter reviews recent work on the biochemistry of disease resistance expression in relation to the French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)/Colletotrichum lindemuthianum interaction. The basic biological and genetical factors which make this system highly amenable to studies at the biochemical and molecular genetic levels have been reviewed previously [1], and the advantages and disadvantages of using elicitor-treated cell suspension cultures as a model system in initial biochemical studies have also been discussed [2].
