Abstract
Many interactions between plants and their parasites begin with specific recognition. The nature of this recognition, and of subsequent signal transduction by both host and parasite have profound impact on the outcome of the interaction. Plants have evolved effective mechanisms to recognize pathogenic microbes and halt their biotrophic or necrotrophic growth. Active plant defense mechanisms obviously force adaptive selection for microbe variants which can evade the plant’s recognition capabilities. This evolutionary tug of war has led to a complex set of both plant and microbe genes whose interaction is required for a successful resistance reaction. As well as a potentially large array of recognition functions, a number of subsequent functions must exist which are necessary to establish a completely effective resistant phenotype.
