About the Book

The present book attmepts to compile the major sources of plant pathogens including viruses, bacteria, fungi and nematodes which attack economically important crops and their management strategies based on conventional and ecofriendly methods. In addition, global scenario in fungal diversity, which comprise of approximately 1.5 million species, has also been discussed. The role of microbes in plant disease management, spoilage of stored food commodities and bioremediation of enviornmental pollutants has also been put in perspective. This comprehensive volume covers the entire field of plant health management with emphasis on the use of microogranisms in various biotechnological aspects of agriculture which which could lead to sustainablity in the modern agriculture. It does not merely define the numerous subjects covered (30 chapters) but describes them in detail. Each chapter of this book serves as a comprehensive overview of a given area, providing breadth of coverage for students and depth of coverage for research professionals. Focusing on recent developments and advances in molecular plant-microbe interactions, this book contains the chapters focsed on interactins between plants and various "microbes" including viruses, beneficial and pathogenic bacteria, fungi and nematodes. The book examines the host-pathogen interactions in te ligh of new tools and techniques of molecular biology and genetics. Scope of integrating microbial biopesticides in the managemnt of pathogens, pests and weeds of agriculture and forestry has been evaluated. It covers chapters on mechanismss of diseases resistance, plant defence, comunication between plants and their associated beneficial and pathogenic microbes, mechanisms of virulence and avriulence, virus induced gene silencing and biocontrol agents as well as contributions on new research fields such as mycorrhizae, plant-nematode and plant-insect interactions. Both agricultural and natural host-pathogen situations are addressed. While most of the book focuses on plant pathology, in the usual sense of the term embracing fungal, bacterial and viral pathogens. The book examines the role of microbes in growth promotion, boportectors, and bioremidiators, and present protocols and practical strategies for using microbes in sustainable agriculture. The green revolution showed us how to succeed. Now we believed that agri-biotechnology is the new success platfrom with genetically modfied bio-fertilizers and bio-pesticides. These will be the issues for the future and solution to our needs. The role fo viral pathogens in different vegetables, fruits, groundnut and different pulse crops has been discussed in detail in different chapter. This history of plant pathology is full with examples of fungla diseases causing havoc with human populations at different times. The recent advanements in molecular biology of phytoplasmas have also been included int eh volume and form an important part of the book. The present volume also incudes chapters on some economically important pathogens of brinjal, sugarcane, and mango. The microbes also play a very important role in spoilage of food commodites like fruits after harvest and this can be minimized by using some volatile oils. Both these aspects have also been dicussed in detail. In addition, the use of botanicals vis a vis chemical pesticides has also been reviewed for the befit of resarch sholars and teaching commnity. The etiology and management of medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPS) have also been discussed with recent advancements as MAPS are becoming an integral part of our lives. In last few chapters of the volume, the role of nematodes in plant disease development, the osses caused by them and various management strategies has been included.
