Including contributions from specialists with extensive experience in the field, this second edition features new chapters on pathogenic prokaryotes, soilborne pathogens, and host-pathogen interactions. It increases coverage of a number of molecular techniques-including real-tim…
This book presents an overview of technologies used by scientists for improvement the crop production. The contributors explore the various roles of these technologies for the enhancement of crop productivity and inhibition of pathogenic bacteria that can cause disease. This res…
Aandacht voor micro-organismen als saprofieten en veroorzakers van planteziekten; microbiologie van bloemen, zaden, vruchten, bladeren, stengels en wortels; de afbraak (rotting) van plantenafval; toekomstige ontwikkelingen ten aanzien van de micro-biologie van planten
Phytoplasmas are a group of bacteria that are capable of multiplying and causing severe diseases in a wide range of plant species and are transported between plants by insect vectors in which the bacteria can also multiply. Phytoplasmas can cause serious and devastating problems…
The basis of biocontrol (in microbiology, ecology and plantpathology) is described and many examples of control measures in commercial use or development are given.
