In recent years, there has been increased interest in growing
willow and poplar trees, as fast-growing species that have several
purposes, including use as biofuels for energy production. However,
silviculture of these trees has been constrained by diseases such
as Melampsora rusts. This book provides a comprehensive review of
over two decades of extensive study of the rust diseases affecting
willow and poplar. It provides insights into the population biology
of Melampsora rusts in Europe, China, India and Chile, the genetics
of their resistance, and their interaction with their hosts. The
book offers information essential to the development of effective
and sustainable disease control measures including the use of
willow genotype mixtures and biological control agents.
