The leaf surface or phyllosphere is a major habitat for microorganisms. Microbes on or within leaves play important roles in plant ecology, and these microbes can be manipulated to enhance plant growth or reduce plant disease. This book presents a number of critical reviews by internationally recognized experts on the microbial ecology of leaves. Topics include methods of assessment of microbial populations on leaf surfaces, leaves as reservoirs of ice nucleation phenomenon, and leaves as microbial habitats in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. The book will be of interest to students and scientists in numerous disciplines, including botany, aerobiology, meteorology, ecology, agriculture, and microbiology.
Plant diseases are destructive and threaten virtually any crop grown on a commercial scale. They are kept in check by plant breeding strategies that have introgressed disease resistance genes into many important crops, and by the deployment of costly control measures, such as antibiotics and fungicides. However, the capacity for the agents of plant disease - viruses, bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes - to adapt to new conditions, overcoming disease resistance and becoming resistant to pesticides, is very great. For these reasons, understanding the biology of plant diseases is essential for the development of durable control strategies. Plant-Pathogen Interactions provides and overview of our cu...

Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 11 Plant diseases are destructive and threaten virtually any cropgrown on a commercial scale. They are kept in check by plantbreeding strategies that have introgressed disease resistance genesinto many important crops, and by the deployment of costly controlmeasures, such as antibiotics and fungicides. However, the capacityfor the agents of plant disease – viruses, bacteria, fungiand oomycetes – to adapt to new conditions, overcomingdisease resistance and becoming resistant to pesticides, is verygreat. For these reasons, understanding the biology of plantdiseases is essential for the development of durable controlstrategies. This volume provides an overview of our current knowledge ofplant-pathogen interactions and the establishment of plant disease,drawing together fundamental new information on plant infectionmechanisms and host responses. The role of molecular signals, generegulation and the physiology of pathogenic organisms areemphasised, but the role of the prevailing environment in theconditioning of disease is also discussed. This is a book for researchers and professionals in plantpathology, cell biology, molecular biology and genetics.

''Informative, well-constructed, and readable...The contributors are leaders in their fields and what they have to say is worthwhile.'' --- SGM Quarterly, August 1998
Principles of Bacterial Pathogenesis presents a molecular perspective on a select group of bacterial pathogens by having the leaders of the field present their perspective in a clear and authoritative manner. Each chapter contains a comprehensive review devoted to a single pathogen. Several chapters include work from authors outside the pathogenesis field, providing general perspectives on the evolution, regulation, and secretion of virulence and determinants. - Explains the basic principles of bacterial pathogenesis - Covers diverse aspects integrating regulation, cellular microbiology and evolution of microbial disease of humans - Discusses current strategies for the identification of virulence determinants and the methods used by microbes to deliver virulence factors - Presents authoritative treatises of the major disease microorganisms
