Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"Throughout the volume, the editors have done an outstanding job of placing recent achievements into a historical context. Each chapter provides an extensive list of references, including historic landmark papers and recent publications. ... this book provides not only a critical analysis of recent developments in plant-nematode interactions, but also a valuable literature resource for years to come. ... I highly recommend this volume not only for specialists who are interested in plant-nematode interactions, but for nematologists and plant pathologists in general." (Axel A. Elling, The Quarterly Review of Biology, Vol. 87 (3), September, 2012)
