This invaluable resource introduces the eleven types of organism
that cause plant disease, ranging from higher plants to viroids and
describes examples of cash and staple crop diseases that have
caused human catastrophes. Early chapters cover serological and
molecular techniques for the diagnosis of plant pathogens,
epidemiology, methods for estimating disease severity and its
effect on crop yields and techniques for limiting inoculum. Later
chapters are concerned with colonisation of the plant and symptom
development and the underlying biochemical and genetic factors that
control these events. Finally, the control of plant disease using a
variety of techniques including genetic modification is discussed.
