In recent years, there has been an explosion of interest in computational intelligence (CI) techniques as evidenced by numerous applications in various fields. Biomedical research and applications have benefited enormously as a result of applications of such tools and techniques. However, most of the scientific literature on the application of CI for modeling and pattern recognition are scattered in different journals and conference proceedings. Computational Intelligence in Bioengineering provides a comprehensive account of the recent research efforts in this emerging area. It brings together in a single volume cutting-edge research and applications of computational intelligence.

Much research has been focused on the isolation, characterization, and regulation of expression of pathogenesis-related proteins since the discovery that several of the PR-proteins had antimicrobial or insecticidal activity and can delay the progression of diseases caused by several pathogens belonging to diverse genera. Pathogenesis-Related Proteins in Plants analyzes the practical aspects of employing PR-proteins for plant protection in a possible role as the first or last line of defense against pathogens and pests. In addition, PR-proteins expressed in apparently healthy tissues during normal plant growth may have additional unsuspected roles in morphogenesis or in symbiosis. This is the first in-depth look at PR-proteins in plants.
