Phytoplasma Diseases of Major Crops; Trees; and Weeds is the second volume in a three-volume series dedicated to the analysis of plant pathogenic phytoplasmas across Asia. With a close look into the different types of plants affected by phytoplasma; the book offers management strategies to develop resistant plant strains.
Phytoplasma diseases pose serious economic losses in many Asian countries; for which there is very little awareness within society. The chapters in Volume 2 comprehensively review predominant plant species and how they are impacted by phytoplasma diseases; providing information on host-pathogen interaction; characterization; and genetic diversity.
The Phytoplasma Diseases in Asian Countries series will be an essential read for students; researchers and agriculturalists interested in plant pathology. Volume 2 will be of particular interest to those needing to access the latest information on plant management and successful plant breeding strategies.
