Phytoplasma-associated diseases are a major limiting factor to
quality and productivity of many ornamentals, horticultural and
other economically important agriculture crops worldwide. Annual
losses due to phytoplasma diseases in many crops vary, but under
the pathogen favorable conditions they always lead to disastrous
consequences to farming community. As there is no effective cure
for phytoplasma diseases, the management options emphasize on their
exclusion, minimizing their spread by insect vectors and
propagation materials and on development of host plant resistance.
The phytoplasma associated plant diseases have a history of more
than 50 years. Phytoplasmas have undoubtedly infected plants and
cause diseases for centuries before they are described and proven
to be the causal agents. But important progress related to
identification of phytoplasmas only began after 1980's.
Phytoplasmas have emerged as the most serious constraints in the
production of several crops all around the world during last four
decades. Phytoplasmas constitute a major limiting factor to quality
and productivity of cereals, horticultural, ornamentals and many
other economically important crops all over the world. Annual
losses due to phytoplasma diseases may vary, but under the pathogen
favorable condition, phytoplasma disease may lead to disastrous
consequences for farming and industry community. The scientific
literature concerning phytoplasma occurrence, characterization,
diagnosis, detection, and management is growing at a fast pace.
Significant advancement in the last decades on diagnostic,
biological and molecular properties, epidemiology,
host-pathogen-insect interactions as well as management of
phytoplasmas has been made. Till date, no authentic compilation is
available to know the progress of phytoplasmas characterization
major crops all over the world. The planned book will compile all
the updated information available information on phytoplasmas by
distinguished experts in the form of edited book entitled
"Characterization and epidemiology of phytoplasma associated
diseases". The book covers recent and update information on
emerging and re-emerging phytoplasma diseases affecting important
crops in tropics and subtropics. It provides comprehensive
information on disease distribution, occurrence, and identification
of the phytoplasmas including the recent approaches for
diagnostics, transmission, and information about losses and
geographical distribution along with and management aspects. This
volume contains 11-12 chapters contributed by the experienced and
recognized experts working on different group of phytoplasmas
affecting major crops all over the world. The information on
various topics is at advanced as well as comprehensive level and
provides the period wise developments of phytoplasma research. The
book covers major chapters on an up to date progress of phytoplasma
research, and then phytoplasma diseases associated with vegetable,
pulse, oils crops, cereals, sugar crops, fruit crops, ornamentals,
medicinal plants, palms species, forest tress and weeds. We have
covered historical background, geographical distribution,
identification and characterization, genetic diversity, host
pathogen interaction and management aspects of important
phytoplasma diseases infecting our major agricultural crops. The
information on various topics is advanced as well as comprehensive,
and provides thought provoking ideas for planning novel research
ideas for future. This book will be useful to everyone interested
in mollicutes, phytoplasma, spiroplasmas, plant pathology, disease
control and plant biology and serve as an exhaustive and up-to-date
compendium of references on various aspects of different groups of
phytoplasmas affecting important crops worldwide.
