An updated guide to plant pathogens and their management The impact
of plant disease is far-reaching. Its effects are felt not only in
the spheres of agriculture and horticulture, but also in human
health and wellbeing. The challenges of population growth, climate
change and global food security all increase the need to protect
crops from disease and reduce the losses caused by plant pathogens.
This requires ongoing research and novel solutions, making the
detailed analysis offered by Plant Pathology and Plant Pathogens
more relevant than ever. Striking a balance between laboratory- and
field-based aspects of its subject, this revised fourth edition of
the text places plant disease in a wide biological context. Its
contents cover causal agents and diagnosis, host-pathogen
interactions, and disease management, including breeding for
resistance, chemical, biological and integrated control. New to
this edition are updated sections on molecular epidemiology,
biosecurity, pathogenomics, and the biotechnological advances that
are helping scientists make great strides in the fight against
plant disease. Authored by a leading authority on plant pathology
Offers new coverage of recent advances in molecular genetics and
genomics, biotechnology, and plant breeding Places emphasis on
interaction biology and biological concepts, such as immunity and
comparisons with animal systems Includes access to a supplementary
website featuring slides of all figures in the book Plant Pathology
and Plant Pathogens is an ideal textbook for graduate and
upper-level undergraduate students in biology, botany, agricultural
sciences, applied microbiology, plant-microbe interactions, and
related subjects. It will also be a practical and enlightening
resource for professionals in agricultural institutions, along with
crop consultants seeking additional training or information.
