Fire Blight is a bacterial disease that is particularly destructive
to apple and pear trees, but which also attacks other plants,
including woody ornamentals such as pyracantha or cotoneaster It is
a significant disease in all temperate regions of the world and is
of major quarantine significance. Historically, it has also played
a major role in the development of the subject of bacterial plant
pathology, as the pathogen, erwinia amylovora, has been used as a
model organism for studies on plant pathogenic bacteria This work
is divided into three parts. The first addresses the disease,
including its epidemiology, distribution, host range, detection and
infection The second considers the pathogen, including its
biochemistry, genetics and pathogenicity. The final part reviews
control, including chemical and biological methods, breeding for
resistance, the use of transgenic plants and prediction modelling
Written by leading research workers from the USA, Europe and New
Zealand, it is a reference aimed at students, research workers and
advisors in bacteriology, plant pathology and horticulture.
