This book provides a clearly written introduction to plant pathology. It includes integrated coverage of the molecular biology of plant disease, emphasizing the importance of plant diseases by showing how they can threaten crops. The first half of the book focuses on pathogens, with chapters ranging from methods of identification and quantitative analysis to the measurement of disease severity and its relation to yield and inoculum control. The second part of the book covers events that ensue when inoculum has not been successfully controlled and therefore deals with host-pathogen interactions, including chapters from the genetics of host pathogen relations to the role of phytotoxic compounds in disease.
This invaluable resource introduces the eleven types of organism that cause plant disease, ranging from higher plants to viroids and describes examples of cash and staple crop diseases that have caused human catastrophes. Early chapters cover serological and molecular techniques for the diagnosis of plant pathogens, epidemiology, methods for estimating disease severity and its effect on crop yields and techniques for limiting inoculum. Later chapters are concerned with colonisation of the plant and symptom development and the underlying biochemical and genetic factors that control these events. Finally, the control of plant disease using a variety of techniques including genetic modification is discussed.
