This toolkit provides an overview, advice by example, and sources for further information on the best management practices for invasive alien species, to assist and direct those involved with biodiversity conservation and land management. An introductory chapter is followed by a…
"This volume provides a holistic overview of the advances in the use of biological control agents (BCAs) and plant resistance inducers to reduce various phytopathogenic infections of grapevine. The ecology, mechanisms involved in protection and application methods of these BCAs …
Biological control programmes in Canada, 2001-2012
0
Type: Book
This volume (71 chapters), the fifth in a series documenting biological control programmes in Canada, presents new information on specific insect, weed or plant diseases, some of which are updates of on-going studies on historical biological control projects while other chapters…
This book is part of the "CABI Invasive Series", which addresses all topics relating to invasive species, including biosecurity surveillance, mapping and modelling, economics of invasive species and species interactions in plant invasions. Aimed at researchers, upper-level stude…
This 2nd edition provides a timely update on the recent progress in our knowledge of all aspects of plant perception, signalling and adaptation to a variety of environmental stresses. It covers in detail areas such as drought, salinity, flooding, oxidative stress, pathogens, and…
Brassica Oilseeds: breeding and management
0
Type: Book
This book contains 12 chapters focusing on the breeding aspects, i.e. genetics and breeding, intersubgenomic heterosis, induced mutagenesis and allele mining, seed quality modifications and genomics, and the management of diseases, such as Albugo candida and Alternaria species, …
Plant-Pathogen Interactions: Methods and Protocols, Second Editionexpands upon the first edition with current, detailed protocols for the study of plant pathogen genome sequences. It contains new chapters on techniques to help identify and characterize effectors and to study the…
This book contains 12 chapters focusing on the basic tenets of postharvest technology of fruits and vegetables and how this influences their postharvest behaviour. Key information about their composition, biochemistry, respiration and physiology are presented. The importance of …
This book provides protocols for nucleic acid-based methods currently applied to plant pathogen detection and identification, showing that great strides have been made in molecular diagnostics since those first tentative steps back in the late 1980s/early 1990s. It takes the pra…
This book, divided into 13 chapters, explores recent discoveries in the area of molecular plant-microbe interactions. It focuses mainly on the mechanisms controlling plant disease resistance and the cross talk among the signalling pathways involved, and the strategies used by fu…
Plants have evolved both general and highly specialized defence mechanisms that function to prevent diseases caused by the majority of microbial pathogens they encounter. There have been major developments in the field of plant microbe interactions in recent years due to newly d…
This concise and up-to-date guide fills a gap in the literature by providing the essential knowledge for everyone with an interest in the topic of pseudomonas. The result is a comprehensive overview of the most important model organism in applied microbiology that covers basic b…
Plants are amazing organisms to study, some are important sources for pharmaceuticals, and others can help to elucidate molecular mechanisms required for a plant's development and its interactions with the biotic or abiotic environment. Functional genomics is vastly lagging behi…
Evolution of Virulence in Eukaryotic Microbes offers a unique review of eukaryotic virulence in fungi, oomycetes, and protozoan parasites and how they affect both animals and plants. This book combines a discussion of human and plant pathogens and it takes a fresh look at the s…
This book is an English translation of the work originally published in German (1998) as Biologischer Obstbau, which was the product of collaboration between authors in Austria, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Switzerland. It brings together the knowledge and experience of o…
