Phytoplasma Diseases of Major Crops,
Trees, and Weeds is the second volume in a three-volume series dedicated
to the analysis of plant pathogenic phytoplasmas across Asia. With a
close look into the different types of plants affected by phytoplasma,
the book offers management strategies to develop resistant plant
strains.
Phytoplasma diseases pose
serious economic losses in many Asian countries, for which there is very
little awareness within society. The chapters in Volume 2
comprehensively review predominant plant species and how they are
impacted by phytoplasma diseases, providing information on host-pathogen
interaction, characterization, and genetic diversity.
The
Phytoplasma Diseases in Asian Countries series will be an essential read
for students, researchers and agriculturalists interested in plant
pathology. Volume 2 will be of particular interest to those needing to
access the latest information on plant management and successful plant
breeding strategies.
