"This book is number 106 in the Burleigh Dodds Series in
Agriculture Science and continues this excellent series of
informative reviews in plant and animal agricultural production
systems. This volume is a collection of chapters by experts in
cereal diseases and disease management from around the world and
contains some excellent detailed overviews on recent advances in
our understanding of key cereal pathogens and advances in their
management. It will be a valuable resource for wheat and barley
focussed researchers, breeders and growers." (Professor Matt
Dickinson, University of Nottingham, UK - Plant Pathology) It's
been estimated that up to 40% of crop yields are lost to pests and
diseases worldwide, a problem exacerbated by increasing fungicide
resistance. Given the continuous struggle between crops and the
diseases which exploit them, achieving durable disease resistance
remains a key challenge in ensuring global food security. A range
of issues need to be addressed to meet this challenge for major
diseases affecting cereal crops such as Fusarium, barley yellow
dwarf virus (BYDV) and Septoria. Achieving durable disease
resistance in cereals provides an authoritative review of key
advances, from better understanding of pathogen
biology/epidemiology and plant-pathogen interactions, to
identifying sources of resistance and advances in techniques for
breeding new varieties. This collection offers a comprehensive
review of research on achieving durable resistance to diseases such
as Fusarium head blight, Septoria tritici blotch, Septoria nodorum
blotch, tan spot, blast, BYDV and Ramularia. Edited by Professor
Richard Oliver, Curtin University, Australia, Achieving durable
disease resistance in cereals will be an excellent reference for
researchers in cereal science, arable farmers, government and
private sector agencies supporting cereal production and companies
supplying the cereals sector (e.g. seed companies). It complements
Integrated disease management of wheat and barley, also edited by
Professor Oliver, published by Burleigh Dodds Science in 2018.
