Molecular plant pathology / Shailendra Singh Gaurav. - New Delhi : Wisdom Press, 2015. - 266 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm
Includes index.
Plant diseases -- Non-parasitic diseases -- Fungal diseases of plants -- Plant parasitic diseases -- Vegetable and fruit diseases -- Virus diseases of plants -- The genetic basis of host pathogen specificity in plant disease resistance -- Molecular plant-microbe interactions -- Control of plant disease
“Plant pathology is the scientific study of plant disease caused by pathogens and environmental conditions. Plant diseases can have an enormous impact on our lives. Studies of the interactions between plants and their viral, bacterial and fungal pathogens are of major importance in plant and crop production. Advances in modern molecular techniqueshave benefited directly molecular plant pathology. These techniques enhance our understanding of the organisms themselves and of the complex interactions between them and their host plants and help us to determine compatibility between them. This book provides methods which are vital to the diagnosis of plant diseases and addresses the underlying molecular principles of plant and pathogen interactions. The book will be an indispensable guide for this exciting and fast moving field, both to novices and expert researchers alike and will also be useful to Phytopathologists, botanists, horticulturists, and anyone working in agriculture.”--Book cover
