Product Description
The Proceedings of the 4th International Symposium held by theEuropean Foundation for Plant Pathology on Diagnosis andIdentification of Plant Pathogens in Bonn, Germany, from September 9thto 12th, 1996, include information on the application of classical aswell as novel and innovative methods and techniques. This book givesan overview of the recent status and trends in the diagnosis andidentification of viruses, bacteria and fungi in plants. It covers notonly the development of methods and application of techniques but alsoits transformation into practice for disease-forecasting systems.The book includes 58 oral presentations and 61 poster contributionscovering 6 main topics. In addition to introductory overviews of thephytosanitary implications of diagnosis in integrated crop protection,the application of classical and innovative diagnostic methods isstressed. The other contributions cover taxonomy and differentiationof plant pathogens, serological assays, nucleic acid basedhybridisation techniques, disease assessment and quantification aswell as disease prognosis and expert systems. This book provides information for all researchers and scientistsinvolved in the production of healthy crop plants. It is of specialinterest for plant pathologists with responsibilities in the fields ofplant quarantine, extension and applied diagnosis of plant pathogensas well as for those working in research and development of innovativecrop protection techniques. ...

Product Description
This collection of articles is a response to the rapid expansion of the global seed trade, a trend that makes seed-borne disease an increasingly significant problem in both developed and developing nations. Based on the proceedings of a symposium held at the 1994 annual meeting of the American Phytopathological Society, these articles address the seed pathology-related interests of organizations that play a role in trading, improving, and regulating seeds in world markets. ...

Product Description
During the last decade, research on Pseudomonas syringaepathovars and related pathogens has progressed rapidly, opening upmany new avenues. The application of molecular genetics has providednew insights into determinants of pathogenicity and virulence.Progress has also been made in elucidating the chemical structures andmodes of action of phytotoxins from Pseudomonas syringae; byestablishing novel strategies for disease control; in biotechnologicalapplications; by studying the resistant reaction of the plant with acombined biochemical and genetic approach; and in the development ofnew detection and identification methodologies as tools inepidemiological studies. With such rapid advances it becomes more andmore difficult to keep abreast of the developments and concepts withindisciplines, all involving research on pathovars of P. syringae.In an attempt to provide a balanced overview, recent developments inthese rapidly expanding fields have been critically reviewed at thebeginning of each chapter by internationally renowned experts. Ourcomprehensive coverage has been made possible because all thecontributors to this volume presented their latest findings at the`5th International Conference on Pseudomonas syringae Pathovarsand Related Pathogens' in Berlin, September 3--8, 1995. In thisway, it was possible to bring together contributions from a wide rangeof fields including phytopathology, genetics, bacteriology, plantbreeding, plant protection, and taxonomy. This book is not intendedsimply as a record of the proceedings of the Berlin Conference, but asan extension of recent findings and hypotheses put forward at themeeting. All papers published in this volume have been reviewed by theEditors. ... Read more

Product Description
Examines the broad subject of biological control of plant pathogens in a unified framework of concepts and principles. Among the principal themes is the fact that slight changes in an environmental factor often produce striking effects in plant-microbe interactions. ... Read more

Product Description

This book provides key methods, approaches, and strategies to dissect the plant defense response. Addressing methods to identify and characterize plant resistance genes as well as pathogen-associated molecules that trigger the plant defense response, this volume creates a better understanding of the interactions between pathogens and their hosts. This will help to develop better methods for disease control in plants and animals.

Learn to produce healthier crops and better harvests!

This uniquely valuable book highlights the tremendous progress of knowledge in different areas of the field over the last decade. Here you'll find new and useful information about plant molecular virology and how the field can improve the world food situation in the coming years.

The last decade has seen remarkable advances in plant virological research, owing mainly to the rapid progress made in molecular biology and genetic engineering in recent years. While recombinant DNA technology has significantly contributed to our understanding of plant viruses, new findings are being accumulated every day as reported in various publications. Plant Viruses As Molecular Pathogens is the only book to bring you all of this information--22 chapters--in a single volume, compiled by specialists around the globe!

Use Plant Viruses As Molecular Pathogens to enhance your knowledge of:

• current virus taxonomy
• the molecular basis of virus transmission
• movement of plant viruses
• replication and gene expression of RNA/DNA viruses
• resistance to viruses
• molecular epidemiology
• recombination events and possible mechanisms
• molecular diversity
• novel aspects of plant virus detection technologies

Product Description
This volume contains a collection of all the papers presented at the founding conference of the European Foundation for Plant Pathology, held from 26th February to 2nd March 1990 at Wageningen, The Netherlands. It focusses on the theme of "Biotic Interactions and Soil-Borne Diseases", on which there are contributions from leading European scientists in the field of soil-borne diseases. Ways of exploiting biotic processes and phenomena which result in plant production harmless to the environment are explored. ... Read more
