A Dictionary of Plant Pathology


Book Description

This comprehensive dictionary provides an essential reference for plant pathologists and agriculturalists at all levels, listing the authoritative names of all major plant pathogens. The 11,000 entries, which include fungi from over 500 genera, 800 viruses, bacteria, mollicutes, nematodes and viriods, contain brief descriptions and thorough supporting references. There are also entries for the names of diseases and disorders, crops and their pathology, fungicides, taxonomic groups, terminology, toxins, vectors and past plant pathologists. Overall, the volume provides a wide-ranging resource for all those working in the discipline. In this new edition over 3000 entries have been added and many existing entries updated and expanded. In addition, common disease names such as "blight" and "canker" are now more conveniently included under the relevant crop.




Basic Terminology and Definitions in Plant Pathology


Book Description

This is a glossary of over 1000 terms used in Plant Pathology - the study of Plant Diseases. It covers terms in use in the current editions of the different internationally mandated and proposed books. Any abbreviations, latinizations and synonyms are incorporated, as are terms which are either no longer employed, are used outside the formal nomenclatural Codes, or are otherwise likely to be encountered. As some of the terms used in the classification of plant communities are identical to those of whole organisms, terms used in phytosociological nomenclature are also included. It is intended for use as a reference work by all biologists, especially those involved with the description or re-classification of organisms, as well as those investigating the status and application of previously proposed names.




Glossary of Plant Pathology


Book Description

This book would be much useful to the readers to know the terminologies in the field of plant pathology particularly to the beginners. The attempt was made to cover in details of various terminologies in the area of mycology, plant bacteriology, plant virology, epidemiology, host pathogen interaction and applied aspects of plant pathology. This book would be assist the students of undergraduate plant virology, plant pathology, microbiology, botany and post graduate students in plant pathology, botany with the specialization of plant pathology, microbiology. Also the book glossary of plant pathology could be helpful for the students who is preparing for various competitive examinations. There would be a continuous effort on the part of the authors to revise, update and modify the contents of the book. The authors are deeply thankful to individuals, who helped on time for successful preparation of this book.
