Disease outbreaks caused by microbial or viral pathogens can decimate crop yields and have severe effects on global food supply. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying plant immune response and applying this understanding to develop biotechnological tools to enhance plant defense against pathogens has great potential for moderating the impact of plant disease outbreaks. \u003ci\u003ePlant Pathogen Resistance Biotechnology’s \u003c\/i\u003emain focus is an in depth survey of the biological strategies  being used to create transgenic disease resistant plants for sustainable plant resistance\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePlant Pathogen Resistance Biotechnology\u003c\/i\u003e is divided into four sections. The first section covers biological mechanisms underpinning disease resistance in plants, while the second highlights case studies of important pathogen-crop groups and then considers why the application of important pathogen-crop groups, transgenic-based strategies designed to selectively target pathogens could benefit crop production. The third section provides information on the status of transgenic crops around the world, and finally the last part explores high-tech alternatives to genetic engineering for developing disease resistant traits in plants.\u003c\/p\u003e Edited and authored by leaders in the field, \u003ci\u003ePlant Pathogen Resistance Biotechnology \u003c\/i\u003ewill be an invaluable resource to those studying or researching plant biotechnology, plant pathology, plant biology, plant and crop genetics, in addition to crop science.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eDavid B.
