Fungal Plant Pathogens

Applied Techniques
Since publication of the first edition in 2012, there is increased awareness of plant health and biosecurity. This practical manual deals with recognition of disease symptoms, detection and identification of fungi and methods to characterise them, as well as curation, quarantine, quality assurance, and new chapters on tree health and outreach.
This substantially updated edition now in full colour provides key techniques used when working with fungal and fungal-like plant pathogens. As a practical manual it also deals with disease recognition, detection and identification of fungi, plus methods to characterise and curate fungi and handle them under quarantine and quality assurance systems. Furthermore, this new edition includes significant updates with respect to: - Greater awareness and concern internationally about plant health and biosecurity. - Molecular biology - next generation sequencing and in-field detection. - Improved opportunities for surveillance and detection in diverse substrates. - Changes in taxonomy and reference to current fungal plant pathogens. - New chapters on tree health, and public awareness, outreach and communications. Fungal Plant Pathogens: Applied Techniques, 2nd edition provides a valuable guide to investigating fungal plant diseases and interpreting laboratory findings for postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students, extension plant pathologists, consultants and advisers in agriculture, forestry and horticulture, and the food supply chain.
