Examines the broad subject of biological control of plant pathogens in a unified framework of concepts and principles. Among the principal themes is the fact that slight changes in an environmental factor often produce striking effects in plant-microbe interactions.

Nature and Practice of Biological Control of Plant Pathogens

R. James Cook

Biological Sciences

E Pluribus Unum! This familiar motto inscribed on coins of the United States signifies the coming together of many peoples of the world to form one nation. This book reflects that dame concept in that many sciences have come together to form the discipline of plant pathology. From the Table of Contents, it is evident that biology, chemistry, and physics, as well as such seemingly unrelated fields as meteorology and economics, bear on plant health in some way. This is reflected in the division of the volume into five sections: history; nature, identification, and management of losses; biological and physical constraints to plant health; disease control; and socioeconomic factors. The sciences and mathematics are woven into the fabric.

Challenging Problems in Plant Health

Keys to families and genera and excellent illustrations make this spiral-bound manual an easy-to-use resource. Illustrated Genera of Rust Fungi, Third Edition helps readers identify rust fungi and introduces the spore states, life cycles, and morphological diversity of the Uredinales. Thoroughly revised and updated and more than 100 pages longer than the previous edition this third edition provides many exciting new features including eight full-page color plates containing more than 60 photographs that illustrate various signs and symptoms of rust fungi. This new edition also presents 134 valuable black and white drawings and illustrations. Other useful additions for the reader include an extensive list of general references on rust fungi, a list of descriptive manuals and regional flora, a list of authors names, recommended abbreviations, and a glossary of mycological terms.The extensive introductory chapters provide standard concepts of morphology, life cycles, and taxonomy of rust fungi as well as straightforward tools for identifying samples to each genus. Students and researchers will appreciate the general information covered here:economic importance symptoms collection and identification host-rust relationships phylogeny and relationship to other groups of fungi morphology of spore states and vegetative structures life cycles cytology descriptions a key to 13 families The main body of the book consists of descriptions, illustrations, and keys to 120 holomorph genera and 13 anamorph genera of rust fungi worldwide. Each genus description includes information on the pertinent microscopic features, species type, number of included species, hosts, distribution, relevant literature, and drawings or micrographs of diagnostic features.This comprehensive and highly anticipated revision of the sold-out previous edition will be an essential resource for mycologists, plant pathologists, forest pathologists, plant taxonomists, plant quarantine officers, biology teachers, students and anyone interested in diagnosing and learning about rust fungi.

Compendium of Ornamental Foliage Plant Diseases

Chase, A.R.

This decade has seen many advances in plant pathogenic bacteria identification, most notably polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This book features a list of available PCR primers and an appendix on Molecular Techniques. Nomenclatural changes included in this manual make identification of most plant pathogenic bacteria much easier. Many species have been given genus status and many pathovars have been returned to species rank. Each chapter in this book provides a description of the nomenclature and taxonomy being followed and a flow chart to aid in identification of plant pathogen genera is included.To assist readers in correctly identifying bacteria, the Laboratory Guide for Identification of Plant Pathogenic Bacteria, Third Edition includes simplified methods, color photographs of biochemical results, full descriptive methods and a list of semiselective agar media useful for isolating bacteria. This guidebook will be a useful resource for educators, students, researchers, extens
