So often new phytopathogens emerge and appear primarily in acute form and then take a chronic form; such populations, however, in general have a limited appearance because of the lack of suitable environmental conditions. The emergence of new pathogens needs to be explored in the light of their evolutionary adaptation. This new volume focuses on the study of quantitative aspects of host-phytopathogen linkages that result in the emergence of aggressive phytopathogens. The book examines the evolution and adaptation of phytopathogens from several cropping systems.

Insects, diseases, and weeds cause an almost 30% yield loss per annum in agricultural production, resulting in an increased consumption of pesticides by 20% per annum throughout the world. This comprehensive volume looks at the status of biopesticides and biocontrol agents in agriculture. It will be a critically important reference work, providing basic facts and studies on new and current discoveries of the role of biopesticides and bioagents in integrated pest management (IPM). The book contains four main sections, covering the status of biopesticides and biocontrol agents in agriculture plant health-promoting biocontrol agents parasitoids and predators genetically modified crops and Bacillus thuringiensis, and phytochemicals in biocontrol The volume provides information regarding new advances in microbial, biochemical, and genetically modified and organic nanoparticles in integrated pest management. Biopesticides and Bioagents: Novel Tools for Pest Management should find a prominent place on the shelves of agriculture and plant scientists, microbiologists, biotechnologists, plant pathologists and entomologists working in academic and commercial agrichemical situations, and in the libraries of all research establishments and companies where this exciting subject is researched, studied, or taught.

This book is reflecting upon core theories in evolutionary biology – in a historical as well as contemporary context. It exposes the main areas of interest for discussion, but more importantly draws together hypotheses and future research directions. The Modern Synthesis (MS), sometimes referred to as Standard Evolutionary Theory (SET), in evolutionary biology has been well documented and discussed, but was also critically scrutinized over the last decade. Researchers from diverse disciplinary backgrounds have claimed that there is a need for an extension to that theory, and have called for an Extended Evolutionary Synthesis (EES). The book starts with an introductory chapter that summarizes the main points of the EES claim and indicates where those points receive treatment later in the book. This introduction to the subjects can either serve as an initiation for readers new to the debate, or as a guide for those looking to pursue particular lines of enquiry. The following chapters are organized around historical perspectives, theoretical and philosophical approaches and the use of specific biological models to inspect core ideas. Both empirical and theoretical contributions have been included. The majority of chapters are addressing various aspects of the EES position, and reflecting upon the MS. Some of the chapters take historical perspectives, analyzing various details of the MS and EES claims. Others offer theoretical and philosophical analyses of the debate, or take contemporary findings in biology and discuss those findings and their possible theoretical interpretations. All of the chapters draw upon actual biology to make their points. This book is written by practicing biologists and behavioral biologists, historians and philosophers - many of them working in interdisciplinary fields. It is a valuable resource for historians and philosophers of biology as well as for biologists.

India has made remarkable strides in agriculture, largely through the foresight, initiatives, and dedication of a very small number of outstanding leaders, including Prof. B P Pal. This book addresses issues such as lessons learnt from the Green Revolution, current status of GM crops globally and their regulations, and issues related to intellectual property. It is useful for researchers, scientists, policy-makers, regulators, seed companies, and the farming community.

Forgiveness or revenge? Which would you choose? Maegwin is a condemned woman. Once a revered priestess of Sho-La, she is sentenced to hang for a crime she refuses to repent. So when a mysterious figure intervenes to snatch her from the jaws of death, she wonders if he might just hold the key to her salvation—and her ambition. Guided by the dark whispers of her goddess, she agrees to join him in a perilous quest for justice. Or is it revenge? Rovann wants nothing to do with a traitor. Yet, as King’s Mage, he doesn’t have much choice. Tasked by his king with quelling a rebellion that threatens to plunge the kingdom of Amaury into chaos, he needs information— information only the volatile priestess can give him. Maegwin is not the ally he would choose. Unpredictable, cynical, and with more than a dose of darkness in her heart, he’s not sure he can trust her. But they are both going to have to do just that if they are to unravel the sinister conspiracy lurking at the kingdom's heart—and emerge from the shadows alive. Join Maegwin and Rovann as they embark on a dangerous mission where the stakes couldn’t be higher. If they fail, everyone loses. And if they win? Well, that could be even worse. This box set contains all three books of The Songmaker series: The Last Priestess, the King's Mage and The Traitor's Song. It is a fantasy trilogy in the spirit of epics such as A Song of Ice and Fire and The Wheel of Time. Step into a world of warring mages, fantastical creatures, and mixed-up heroes who are never quite sure if they are doing the right thing.
