Plant Pathology is designed to introduce an important and potentially fascinating subject area to a new generation of plant scientists as well as those studying a range of other disciplines. The future of our planet is dependent on the dedication and ingenuity of the generations to come, and their ability to address the complex issues of food security and land management.
This text aligns classic studies and our knowledge to date in the field of plant pathology with the current state of research, all presented in a very accessible format. Topics covered include pathogen taxonomy, the infection process, plant responses to infection, epidemiology, identification of important disease organisms, and disease management. This book provides an excellent introduction to this important field for students studying plant science, horticulture, agriculture and crop production, forestry, or microbiology. Although aimed primarily at undergraduates, it will also serve as a useful reference work for those engaged in research in these subjects areas.
The text is enhanced by a four-chapter compendium of fungal, bacterial, viral, and other diseases, as well as a range of photographs, photomicrographs, tables, illustrations, and maps, to help the reader to build a detailed picture of this exciting and rapidly evolving topic."--Back cover
