Microbial plant pathogens causing qualitative and quantitative losses in all corps are present not only in the infected plants, but also in the environmental comprising of soil, water and air.
The need for the development of techniques based on the characteristics of the viral proteins and genomic nucleic acids was realized in order to detect, identify, differentiate and quantify viruses in the infected plants/planting materials with or without symptoms of infection.
Identification of sources of resistance genes, cloning and characterization of desired resistance genes and... Læs mere
This volume reviews research on molecular biology of pathogens, infection process and disease resistance. Also included are strategies to incorporate disease resistance genes from diverse sources, and experimental protocols useful to students and researchers.
