Physiological and Molecular Plant Pathology

In recent years, great progress has been made related to the molecular basis underlying host-pathogen interactions. Rapid and accurate detection of fungal pathogens to species or strain level is often essential for disease surveillance and implementing a disease management strategy. This book reviews the direct and indirect disease identification methods currently used in agriculture. The book should prove useful to students, researchers, and experts in the area of conservation biology, genetic diversity, and molecular biology.
