Abstract
Many fungi are pathogenic to plants, and yet plants in general continue to survive. Clearly, most species have effective means of resisting attack by the majority of potentially pathogenic fungi, the corollary being that parasitic fungi in general have a restricted range of hosts. Biotrophic fungi, such as the rusts, smuts and mildews, tend to have a much more restricted host range, frequently being limited to certain varieties of a single plant species, than do necrotrophic fungi — although even many of the latter are highly specific. The mechanistic determinants of this species specificity in host-parasite interactions are the subject of this Chapter. For example, why is a given plant species resistant to all strains of a particular fungal species (or forma specialis) when the fungus is known to be parasitic on other plants? Mechanisms of resistance to saprophytic fungi which have no known hosts ara not considered here, although some definitions of non-host resistance would include this category.
