Download or read book The Identification and Characterization of Pest Organisms written by D. L. Hawksworth and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1994 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The identification of, and relationship among, pest organisms and their natural enemies is an essential prerequisite for the development of sustainable methods for their control. Biosystematics is the basis for management of biodiversity in sustainable agriculture. There is a vast armory of techniques available to the biosystematist, and this book is the first major review of the applications and potential of the methods now in use, ranging from the morphometric and ultrastructural to isozymes and DNA sequencing. This volume consists of 34 papers presented at the Third Workshop on the Ecological Foundations of Sustainable Agriculture (WEFSA III), organized by CAB INTERNATIONAL and the Systematics Association, held in June 1993. The book is divided into four parts: biosystematic services, biosystematic information, biosystematic characters, and biochemical and molecular biosystematics. It demonstrates how biosystematics can contribute to improved crop protection and which techniques are appropriate to address particular identification problems, and makes recommendations for future actions.

This book was released on 2010-10-20 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microbial plant pathogens causing qualitative and quantitative losses in all corps are present not only in the infected plants, but also in the environmental comprising of soil, water and air. The vectors present in the environment spread the microbial pathogens to short and/or long distances. Detection of microbial pathogens rapidly and reliably by employing suitable sensitive applicable for different ecosystems. The pathogens have to be identified precisely and differentiated and quantified to plan appropriate short- and long-term strategies to contain the incidence and spread of diseases induced by them. This book aims to present all relevant and latest information on the detection techniques based on the biological, biochemical, immunological and nucleic acid characteristics of microbial pathogens presents in the host plants, as well as in the natural substrates that support the survival and perpetuation of the pathogens.

Download or read book Pseudomonas written by Juan-Luis Ramos and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-28 with total page 837 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pseudomonas comprises three volumes covering the biology of pseudomonads in a wide context, including the niches they inhabit, the taxonomic relations among members of this group, the molecular biology of gene expression in different niches and under different environmental conditions, the analysis of virulence traits in plants, animals and human pathogens as well as the determinants that make some strains useful for biotechnological applications and promotion of plant growth. There has been growing interest in pseudomonads and a particular urge to understand the biology underlying the complex metabolism of these ubiquitous microbes. These bacteria are capable of colonizing a wide range of niches, including the soil, the plant rhizosphere and phylosphere, and animal tissues; more recently they have attracted attention because of their capacity to form biofilms, a characteristic with potentially important medical and environmental implications. The three volumes cover the following topics: - Taxonomy, - Genomics, - Life styles, - Cell Architecture, - Virulence, - Regulation, - Macromolecules, - Alternative Respiratory Substrates, - Catabolism and Biotransformations. Pseudomonas will be of use to all researchers working on these bacteria, particularly those studying microbiology, plant crops, pathogenesis, and chemical engineering. Advanced students in biology, medicine and agronomy will also find these three volumes a valuable reference during their studies.
Download or read book Biotechnology and Plant Disease Management written by Zamir K. Punja and published by CABI. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 591 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As agricultural production increases to meet the demands of a growing world population, so has the pace of biotechnology research to combat plant disease. Diseases can be caused by a variety of complex plant pathogens including fungi, bacteria, viruses and nematodes, and their management requires the use of techniques in transgenic technology, biochemistry and genetics. While texts exist on specific pathogens or management practices, a comprehensive review is needed of recent developments in modern techniques and the understanding of how pathogens cause disease. This collection of studies discusses the key approaches to managing each group of pathogens within the context of recent developments in biotechnology. Broad themes include microbe-plant interactions, molecular diagnostics of plant pathogens and enhancing the resistance of plants.
Download or read book Biotechnology And Plant Protection Bacterial Pathogenesis And Disease Resistance Proceedings Of The Fourth International Symposium written by Donald D Bills and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1994-07-27 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
