Advances in Plant Disease Management

<p><em>Advances in Plant Disease Management: Volume I: Fundamental and Basic Research </em>is an invaluable compilation for researchers/students/stakeholders/policymakers in agriculture. The book aims to offer the latest understanding of fundamental and basic research fronts toward managing crop plants diseases. After clearly explaining the updated knowledge on the host immune system and pathogen’s interplay with the host as unraveled through genomics bioinformatics and molecular studies this book equips readers with the knowledge to confidently account for them during the formulation of management strategies for major crop plant diseases.</p><p>The book offers comprehensive coverage of the research advances in plant disease management including:</p><ul> <li>Newer insight into the host-pathogen interaction including effector-driven pathogenesis in different host-pathogen systems</li> <li>Updates on plant defense pathways leading to resistance to pathogens</li> <li>Use of novel molecules antagonists and genome-editing tools toward manipulating host resistance</li> <li>Plant protection policies that support the agricultural production system from a global perspective</li> </ul>
