Biotechnology and plant disease management
1 online resource (xi, 574 pages) : illustrations, charts
This publication is divided into 4 sections that cover topics on: unravelling microbe-plant interactions for applications to disease management; molecular diagnostics of plant pathogens for disease management; enhancing resistance of plants to pathogens for disease management; and understanding microbial interactions to enhance disease management.
