Emphasis in this second volume of Advances in Downy Mildew
Research is on the biology of compatible interactions, forecasting
and epidemiology, host specialisation, genetic variability amongst
pathogen populations, novel methods for detection and systematics,
and induced resistance. Two chapters focus on the related oomycete
Albugo candida, which shares many pathogenic characteristics with
the downy mildews and provides a valuable comparative pathosystem.
Contributions on specific downy mildews include Bremia lactucae,
Peronospora destructor, Peronospora sparsa, Peronospora viciae,
Plasmopara halstedii, Plasmopara viticola, Pseudoperonospora
cubensis and Sclerospora graminicola. Review chapters on
compatibility, forecasting and systematics consider a broader range
of downy mildew fungi, and compare them with other oomycete and
biotrophic pathogens. The book is relevant to anyone with an
interest in these unique biotrophic pathogens, either in their own
right as causes of damaging diseases or as model systems for
research on host-pathogen interactions. It should be read by:
students, teachers and researchers in academic and research
institutes; research and development personnel in the agrochemical
industries; agricultural and horticultural advisers, and other
extension workers.
