Biotechnology And Plant Protection: Bacterial Pathogenesis And Disease Resistance - Proceedings Of The Fourth International Symposium PDF
Edited by Bills Donald D Bills, Kung Shain-dow Kung
Description
An important aspect of successful agriculture is the control of plant diseases that reduce productivity, quality, and profitability.
Application of exogenous chemicals and development of endogenous resistance are two general approaches to controlling plant diseases.
As the former falls under continued attack and regulation, the latter fortunately becomes more achievable through biotechnology.
Biotechnology and Plant Protection: Bacterial Pathogenesis and Disease Resistance explores the application of biotechnology to understanding bacterial pathogenesis and the nature of plant resistance to bacterial disease.
More important, the information presented in this volume foreshadows the development of plants with increased native resistance to bacterial disease.
Classical plant breeding has made great progress in developing resistant plants through largely empirical approaches, but a direct understanding of the genetic aspects of pathogenesis and resistance will accelerate the process.
