Plant resistance to the pathogens (review of foreign literature)

The current state in the problem of interaction «plant-pathogen» was presented. On the basis of recent achievements of molecular biology the author considers the induced protection of plant including local, system-defined acquired and induced resistance and also some examples of protective response transfer. The role of chemical and biochemical inductors of resistance, individual genes and proteins in the regulation of plant resistance to the pathogens was shown. The gene of resistance were characterized and also the mode of identification, cloning and testing of functional activity of the latter's by the transgenesis method, and also the scheme of protection response activation in host cell was presented which reflects the results of investigations on a race specific resistance to diseases and an induction of system and local acquired resistance in plants.
