About the Book

It offers an in-depth exploration of modern plant pathology, showcasing the latest advancements and innovative strategies for disease control. The book covers molecular diagnostics, including cutting-edge tools for detecting killer pathogens and the use of DNA markers in disease management. It emphasizes eco-friendly management practices, biocontrol mechanisms of Bacillus, and the role of endophytes and microbial agents. The menace of mycotoxins in stored commodities and seed-borne pathogen detection are thoroughly discussed. Advanced topics include genomics, CRISPR gene editing, RNA interference and synthetic biology, highlighting their impact on plant immunity and resistance. The importance of phytobiomes, soil health and climate change adaptation in combating emerging diseases is examined. Readers will find insights into advanced detection techniques for fungi and bacteria, proteomics and nanotechnology applications. Integrated disease management, host plant resistance and tritrophic interactions are explored, alongside remote sensing and GIS for disease monitoring. The book also delves into biological control of post-harvest diseases, growth-promoting rhizobacteria and microbial volatile organic compounds. With its comprehensive coverage and focus on sustainable, eco-friendly practices, this book is an essential resource for researchers and students dedicated to advancing plant health and crop protection.
