Volume

v. 4 ISBN 9780120337040

Description

This volume focuses on recent advances in the application of molecular genetics in plant pathology. It was written as a monograph by two of the World's leading molecular plant pathologists, Arun Chatterjee and Anne Vidaver.

Table of Contents

Introduction. Phytopathogenic Bacteria: An Overview. Progress in Genetics of Phytopathogenic Bacteria. Known and Prospective Determinants of Bacterial Plant Pathogenicity. Summary and Perspective. References. Index.

Volume

v. 8 ISBN 9780120337088

Description

This is a collection of essays on advances in the field of plant pathology. Focusing on ideas and interpretations, the topics covered include rainfall and the dispersal of fungal spores and the impact of root border cells on microbial populations in the rhizosphere.

Table of Contents

• Evolutionary perspective on host plants and their parasites, P.W. Price
• a case for the antiquity of fungal parasitism in plants, N.H. White
• rainfall and the dispersal of fungal spores, L.V. Madden
• host population subdivision and the genetic structure of natural pathogen, J.J. Burdon
• biology of pseudomanas tolaasii caue of brown blotch disease of cultivated mushroom
• impact of root border cells on microbial populations in the rhizosphere, M.C. Hawes and L.A. Brigham
• phytocentric and exploiter perspectives of phytopathology, J.S. Coleman et al
• our last chance to win the war on hunger, W.C. Paddock.

Volume

v. 9 ISBN 9780120337095

Description

"Advances in Plant Pathology" publishes reviews on topics of current or future interest and importance to plant pathologists. This volume focuses on mycorrhizal fungi, a group of taxonomically diverse organizations which underpin many of the world's ecosystems, commercial forest plantations and agricultural crops. The contributions in this book should raise many new questions. They cover mycorrhiza in plant communities, the physiology of mycorrhizal plants, modelling plant growth responses to mycorrhiza, the physiology of mycelium, nitrogen metabolism of ectomycorrhiz and their fungi, genetics of the fungi and management of mycorrhiza in crops and plantations. The beneficial role of these fungi on plant production is in contrast to pathogens, yet many aspects of the plant/fungus interaction parallel that of pathogens. Future research on these fungi should hold many challenges.

Table of Contents

• Mycorrhiza in plant communities, D.J. Read
• physiology of the mycorrhizal plant, R.T. Koide
• physiology of mycorrhizal mycelia, V. Gianinazzi-Pearson and S.E. Smith
• nitrogen metabolism of ectomycorrhizal fungi and ectomycorrhiza, F. Martin and B. Botton
• genetics and molecular genetics of mycorrhiza, I.C. Tommerup and N. Malajezuk
• modelling plant growth responses to vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal infection, F.E. Sanders
• mycorrhiza in plantation forestry, T.S. Grove and F. Le Tacou.

Volume

v.10 ISBN 9780120337101

Description

Contains extended idea-oriented essays on topics of current and future interest and importance in the area of plant pathology. These essays include: the role of oxygen radicals in plant disease development; and population structure of plant pathogenic fungi and bacteria.

Volume

v.11 ISBN 9780120337118

Description

This volume focuses on issues of plant pathology and sustainability, such as short term economic plans versus long term economic visions in farming and forestry. The book also deals with the complex biological interactions governing success in minimizing pest or pathogen damage by biological or chemical strategies, benefits and costs to the producer, consequences for the environment of management options, and the challenge of defining useful farm or forest indicatorsof sustainable practices.
