This book, entitled Biotic Elicitors: Production, Purification, and Characterization, is a manual that details the techniques involved in the study of potent biotic elicitors involved in the field of agriculture for the benefit of the environment and growers. Elicitation has emerged as a promising approach in modern disease management because it protects plants against pathogens and abiotic stresses without heavily affecting vigor. This manual covers a broad range of elicitors derived from both pathogens and plants. Biotic elicitors are compounds/ molecules of either microorganisms or plants that can stimulate defense mechanisms by accumulating phytoalexins or hypersensitive responses in host plants. Elicitors do not have any common chemical structure but belong to a wide range of different classes of compounds, including oligosaccharides, peptides, proteins, and lipids. Elicitors were divided into “general elicitors” and “race-specific elicitors.” While general elicitors can trigger defense in both host and non-host plants, race-specific elicitors induce defense responses leading to disease resistance only in specific host cultivars. Due to the broad application and versatile role of elicitors, it is necessary to scale up the studies for better output for commercial production. This manual provides basic insights and working protocols for all related disciplines in one place. It helps plan and execute experiments with appropriate knowledge rather than experimental trial and error. The book consists of four broad sections, under which different titles are prepared based on various categories of elicitors. Part I describes the important protein compounds that act as elicitors and their production, purification, and characterization. Part II deals with well-known carbohydrate compounds as elicitors. Part III provides deep insight into the production, purification, and characterization of lipid components. Part IV presents general protocols for glycoprotein and glycolipid components derived from microorganisms. Each protocol comprises five parts: introduction, materials, methods, notes, and references based on production, purification, and characterization of selected elicitors. The authors are confident that this hands-on guide serves as an essential resource for researchers and students in agricultural microbiology, plant biotechnology, and pathology. Moreover, this manual is a valuable resource for enhancing integrated pest management. We are thankful to all the contributing authors for their prompt and timely responses. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the publishers for their efforts to publish the book in a timely manner. Criticisms and concrete suggestions are always welcome for the improvement of this book.
