Switching on Plant Innate Immunity Signaling Systems

  • Type: Book
  • -
  • Published: 2016-01-23
  • -
  • Publisher: Springer

This book presents the ways and means to switch on plant immune signaling systems using PAMP-PIMP-PRR signaling complex for crop disease management. It also describes bioengineering approaches to develop transgenic plants expressing enhanced disease resistance using genes encoding PAMPs, PRRs and transcription factors and genes involved in generation of PIMPs/HAMPs. It also discusses recent commercial development of PAMP products to switch on plant innate immunity for crop disease management. These unique approaches have been described with more than 100 figures and illustrations and these would make this book attractive for researchers and students to buy this book.

Biocontrol Potential and its Exploitation in Sustainable Agriculture

Plant based biotechnology has come to represent a means of mitigating the problems of global food security in the twenty-first century. Products and processes in agriculture are increasingly becoming linked to science and cutting edge technology, to enable the engineering of what are in effect, designer plants. One of the most successful , non-chemical approaches to pest management and disease control is biological control, which seeks a solution in terms of using living organisms to regulate the incidence of pests and pathogens, providing a natural control' while still maintaining the biological balance with the ecosystem. This volume, (the first of two), addresses the different types of biocontrol for different pests, namely, crop diseases, weeds and nematodes, and details the biology of both the pest and its enemies, which is vital for efficient use of biological control. The book has numerous contributors who are authorities in their fields, and would be an asset to those who have interest in sustainable agriculture and crop productivity.

Major Fungal Diseases of Rice

Major Fungal Diseases of Rice: Recent Advances provides a comprehensive overview of latest research in rice fungal pathology. There are 25 chapters dealing with the blast, sheath blight, sheath rot, brown spot and scald diseases of rice as well as some broader topics. The book covers recent progress in a number of key fundamental aspects such as pathogenicity, pathogen diversity, molecular characterisation, gene cloning, genetics of host resistance and host-pathogen interactions. It also presents the current status and perspectives in strategic and applied areas such as epidemiology, resistance breeding, biological control, induced resistance, seed-borne diseases and quarantine issues and disease management strategies. This book is essential for rice researchers, pathologists and breeders and will also be suitable for cereal and plant pathologists in general, as there is an extensive coverage of recent research advances in rice blast, a model system in plant pathology.

Prevent agricultural loss with natural disease controls that don’t harm the environmentor the people who live in it Despite the worldwide use of chemicals and pesticides to control the devastating effects of plant disease, the international agribusiness market still suffers extensive economic losses each year. Biological Control of Plant Diseases offers natural alternatives to the synthetic fungicides, pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides that have not only failed to stop pests and pathogens, but have raised serious safety and environmental concerns. The world’s leading plant pathologists examine the use of antagonistic microorganisms, inherent resistance, and natural fungicides for ...

Studies on Species Diversity of Mycoflora and Biocontrol related to Vegetables in Nanded District.

  • Categories: Art

The vegetables are important sources of essential vitamins and minerals needed for human system. They have roughage in sufficient qualities, low protein and fat contents, but carbohydrates, vitamin A, C, E and minerals like P, Ca, Fe, Mg and K are in plenty and they rank next to cereals as source of carbohydrates (Singh et al., 2005). Many vegetables of different category like root vegetables, stem vegetables, leafy vegetables fruit vegetables and cole vegetables are cultivated in the Marathwada region of the Maharashtra State. In the Maharashtra particularly in the Nanded district of the Marathwada region the vegetables like Carrot (Daucus carota L.), Radish (Raphanus sativus L.), Onion (Allium cepa L.), Methi (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.), Palak (Spinacia oleracea L.), Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.), Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis L.), Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) and Bhendi (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) etc.

Crop Diseases Management

Crop Diseases Management

Crop diseases are known to be caused by various abiotic and biotic agents. Among the biotic agents, microbial plant pathogens - fungi, bacteria, phytoplasmas, viruses and viroids - accounts for significant quantitative and qualitative losses in agricultural and horticultural crops. It is essential to have adequate knowledge of various aspects of these plant pathogens. Information on precise identification of microbial plant pathogens, process of disease development, epidemiology, assessment of losses due to diseases, principles of disease management, their applications for containing the diseases and the possible ways of integrating the practices is required to develop and enhance the effectiveness of disease management systems suitable for different ecosystems. Basic plant pathological methods provided in the appendix and glossary of plant pathological terms presented in this book will help the students to have a clear understanding of the subject. Graduating students, researchers and teachers desirous of updating the information on different aspects of microbial plant pathogens and the diseases caused by them, will find this book to be useful.
