Broad themes include microbe-plant interactions, molecular diagnostics of plant pathogens, and enhancement of plant resistance. Chapters are in sections on investigating microbe-plant interactions for applications to disease management, molecular diagnostics of plant pathogens, enhancing resistance of plants to pathogens, and understanding microbial interactions. Some specific topics include molecular diagnostics of soilborne fungal pathogens, application of cationic antimicrobial peptides for management of plant diseases, and potential disease control strategies revealed by genome sequencing and functional genetics of plant pathogenic bacteria. B&w images and a few color illustrations are included. The readership for th includes academics and government organizations involved in the agriculture and biotechnology sectors.
