Microbial Plant Pathogens-Detection and Disease Diagnosis:

Fungal Pathogens, Vol.1

Beschreibung

Morphological, biological, biochemical and physiological characteristics have been used for the detection, identification and differentiation of fungal pathogens up to species level. Tests based on biological characteristics are less consistent. Immunoassays have been shown to be effective in detecting fungal pathogens present in plants and environmental samples. Development of monoclonal antibody technology has greatly enhanced the sensitivity and specificity of detection, identification and differentiation of fungal species and varieties/strains. Nucleic acid-based techniques involving hybridization with or amplification of unique DNA have provided results rapidly and reliably. Presentation of a large number of protocols is a unique feature of this volume.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"The first volume of the Microbial plant pathogens - Detection and disease diagnosis focuses on fungal pathogens. ... All chapters are summarized in the abstract, well referenced and focused on providing concerns of techniques and improvements of research. Therefore, if you are interested in the methods for detection and diagnosis, this is certainly a book you must have. The book should be available to every mycologist and students studying any aspect of plant pathology. Every library in the world should also have this book." (Dhanushka Udayanga and Dimuthu S. Manamgoda, Fungal Diversity, April, 2012)
