Introduction to Plant Pathology provides an integrated coverage of the biology of plant disease, highlighting the organisms that cause such diseases and the techniques used for their identification and control. It is a comprehensive, up–to–date introduction to the subject, including the latest relevant molecular and genetic developments. Broadly divided into two parts, the text opens by placing plant disease in context, showing how disease may cause a catastrophic loss of crops. Pathogens are then discussed alongside epidemiology and the measurement of disease severity and its relation to yield and inoculum control. The second part examines host–pathogen interactions and symptoms caused by altered plant growth regulator metabolism. Finally, the book looks at how the health of crops may be improved through the continuing development of control measures that are environmentally responsible. An accessible introduction, including coverage of the molecular biology of plant...
