New Advances in Crop Disease Management

Synopsis

Crop protection is becoming increasingly important due to the need for food security and to meet growing environmental challenges. This new book, New Advances in Crop Disease Management, provides readers with an updated and comprehensive overview of diverse crop protection strategies with special emphasis on the recent advances in crop protection approaches, fundamental concepts, principles, methodology, relationships, and benefits for crop protection and human health.It covers a variety of disciplines such as plant pathology, biochemistry, cell, and molecular biology, plant physiology, host-pathogen interactions, precision agriculture, decision analysis, disease risk, new ways of exploiting host genetic diversity including host resistance deployment, biological control and microbial interactions, surveillance and detection technologies, and the consequences of climate change and signaling.The book contains twenty chapters and begins with the role of biotechnology and its implications in crop disease detection and protection. It then discusses the plant response to pathogen attack, molecular basis of host-pathogen interaction and induction of defense response, viz., R gene, phytoalexins, etc., and advancement in early detection methodologies. It also delves into induced mutation as new technology for resistant crop development.The last part details the recent approaches and applications of resistant crop lines development, including resistant pulses development approaches, mining and mapping of R genes, gene pyramiding, lactic acid bacteria as biocontrol agents, effecteromics and nanotechnology in crop disease management, and the applications of phytochemicals and CRISPR-Cas in the development of disease resistant crops for future.New Advances in Crop Disease Management will be a key reference in the field of crop science and plant pathology, agriculture for faculty and industry professionals as well as a valuable textbook/reference for undergraduate and graduate students.
