Reseña del libro "Phyllosphere Microbial Plant Pathogens: Detection and Crop Disease Management, Volume 2"

This book provides comprehensive knowledge of the methods of detection and identification of phyllosphere microbial pathogens and the management of different kinds of diseases caused by them in various crops. Interactions between pathogens and host plants result in the induction of defense responses expressed via molecular signals from initiation of infection till systemic progression of pathogen invasion in susceptible plants and contrasting signals in resistant plants leading to inhibition of pathogen development through activation of pre- and post-infectional defense responses are critically discussed.The intricate and complex competitive activities of the pathogens and host plants to outbeat each other involving the molecular warfare to be won by the host plant are elucidated to enable breaking the link in the life cycle of the pathogens for the development of disease management strategies based on the principles of exclusion, eradication, and immunization. Integration of strategies development of cultivars resistant to pathogens through breeding and biotechnological techniques, application of biotic and abiotic inducers of resistance to pathogens, and use of disease-free seeds and propagules that are complementary to each other along with effective cultural practices is emphasized.This book unfolds information gathered through an extensive literature search to help the researchers and graduate students in Agricultural Sciences for identification research gaps and successful completion of their research projects.
