The Olive
The European or Mediterranean cultivated olive (Olea europaea L., subsp. europaea, var. europaea) is an ancient crop notable for its early domestication. Today, hundreds of olive varieties are grown to produce high-quality fruit for oil and table olives for human consumption. Over the last 30 years, the olive industry has undergone profound innovation due to scientific and technical advances, particularly in genomics, breeding, orchard management, mechanization and agro-ecology. Not all these developments are currently available to smaller producers. Outside the Mediterranean Basin, where it has been present for over 6,000 years, olive cultivation has spread to many other countries. These new olive-growing areas are helping further the expansion of the industry, due to increased awareness of the nutritional and health properties of extra virgin olive oil. The Olive: Botany and Production is an invaluable resource for researchers and students in horticulture and agriculture, in addition to producers involved in olive orchard management.
The Elms
Elms occur, both naturally and cultivated, throughout much of the temperate world. Because of their high tolerance to extreme growing conditions and their widespread distribution, elms have been widely planted in cities, towns and rural areas throughout North America and northern Europe. As such, their current demise due to several pandemics of Dutch elm disease has spurred a huge body of research on breeding for disease resistance, conservation and systematics. The Elms: Breeding, Conservation and Disease Management provides the current state of knowledge in these areas and is an important reference work for pathologists, breeders, taxonomists, and arborists.
XIII Conference "Root and Butt Rot of Forest Trees," IUFRO Working Party 7.02.01
The present Proceedings comprise the contributions that were presented at the 13th International Conference of the IUFRO W. Party 7.02.01 "Root and Butt Rot of Forest Trees" that was held in Italy from the 4th to the 10th of September 2011. The Conference started in Firenze than moved to FEM Research Centre, S. Michele all'Adige, Trento and continued in San Martino di Castrozza, Dolomite region. Root and Butt Rot of Forest Trees have a high biological and economic impact in forestry. The Proceedings were organized under seven headings: Genomics and Plant-Pathogen Interactions; Systematics, Taxonomy and Phylogeography; Ecology; Population Genetics; Etiology and Epidemiology; Disease Management and Control; New Reports, Diagnostics and Research on the Application of new Diagnostic Methods.
Integrated Management of Diseases Caused by Fungi, Phytoplasma and Bacteria
This volume focuses on integrated pest and disease management (IPM/IDM) and biocontrol of some key diseases of perennial and annual crops. It continues a series originated during a visit of prof. K. G. Mukerji to the CNR Plant Protection Institute in Bari (Italy), in November 2005. Both editors aim at a series of five volumes embracing, in a multi-disciplinary approach, advances and achievements in the practice of crop protection, for a wide range of plant parasites and pathogens. Two volumes of the series were already produced, dedicated to general concepts in IPM and to management and biocontrol of nematodes of grain crops and vegetables. This Volume deals, in particular, with diseases due...
Pseudomonas Syringae Pathovars and Related Pathogens
During the last decade, research on Pseudomonas syringae pathovars and related pathogens has progressed rapidly, opening up many new avenues. The application of molecular genetics has provided new insights into determinants of pathogenicity and virulence. Progress has also been made in elucidating the chemical structures and modes of action of phytotoxins from Pseudomonas syringae; by establishing novel strategies for disease control; in biotechnological applications; by studying the resistant reaction of the plant with a combined biochemical and genetic approach; and in the development of new detection and identification methodologies as tools in epidemiological studies. With such rapid adv...
Molecular Signals in Plant-Microbe Communications
This book provides a comprehensive examination of the current knowledge available regarding signal molecules in plant-microbe communications. It also provides many experimental details regarding the characterization of the signal compounds and the genes affected by these molecules. Specific topics addressed include signal communication from bacteria to parasitic angiosperms, genes involved in signal perception and transduction, and the methods used to characterize many signal molecules. The book will prove useful not only in research in microbiology/plant pathology, molecular biology, and rhizosphere studies, but will serve as a tool in designing specific strategies to control harmful interactions while developing useful ones. This book is invaluable for researchers in plant biotechnology.
Lampedusa
Dionigi Albera est anthropologue et directeur de recherche émérite au CNRS. Il a notamment publié le Dictionnaire de la Méditerranée (Actes Sud, 2016) et Dieu, une enquête. Judaïsme, christianisme, islam : ce qui les distingue, ce qui les rapproche (Flammarion, 2013). Caillou aride aux confins de la Sicile, Lampedusa est aujourd’hui le symbole tragique de la crise des migrants en Europe. Derrière cette réalité tranchante, se révèle un microcosme où se croisent militants, pêcheurs, réfugiés, journalistes, touristes. Dionigi Albera s’est immergé dans la vie locale et a décelé les contradictions du lieu, entre forteresse et zone de passage. Et il remonte les strates du te...
