Edited by Dov Prusky, Stanley Freeman, and Martin Dickman "The book will be essential reading for researchers, graduate students, teachers of plant pathology, extension workers, diagnosticians, in fact anyone who wants a single source of reference for Colletotrichum. P.R. Mills, Plant Pathology (2001) SCROLL DOWN TO ORDER THIS TITLE. Summarizing the research of leading scientists, this book focuses on the genus Colletotrichum and the development of Colletotrichum species epidemics worldwide. Use the information contained in this volume to develop control strategies for Colletotrichum disease epidemics and to understand Colletotrichum problems in the areas of biology, pathology, and control. Colletotrichum Host Specificity, Pathology, and Host-Pathogen Interaction features research emphasizing sub-specific variation, host range, genetics and quantitative epidemiology among various plants, including fruit and vegetable crops. As epidemics of Colletotrichum species are appearing worldwide, this publication will serve plant scientists, educators, students, extension agents, agriculture professionals, libraries, scientific diagnostitions, and government agencies worldwide. Table of Contents Systematics, Vegetative Compatibility and the Sexual Stage; Linking the past, present and future of Colletotrichum systematics; The importance of phylogeny in understanding host relationships with Colletotrichum; Genetic regulation of sexual compatibility in Glomerella graminicola; Vegetative compatibility in Colletotrichum; Infection Process; Dissecting the cell biology of Colletotrichum infection processes; Early molecular communication between Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and its host; Regulation of melanin biosynthesis genes during appressorium formation by Colletotrichum lagenarium; Host Specificity and Genetic Diversity; Colletotrichum as model system for defining the genetic basis of fungal symbiotic life styles; Genetic diversity and host specificity of Colletotrichum species on various fruits; Inter- and intra-species variation in Colletotrichum and mechanisms which affect population structure; Pathogenicity Genes; Gene transfer and expression in Colletotrichum gloeosporioides causing anthracnose on Stylosanthes; The endopolygalacturonases of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum: Molecular characterization, gene expression, and elicitor activity; Regulation of Pathogenicity and Host Resistance; Signal exchange during Colletotrichum trifolii-alfalfa interactions; Resistance Mechanisms of Subtropical Fruits to Colletotrichum gloeosporioides; Mycoherbicides and Their Use; Colletotrichum strains for weed control; Biocontrol; Potential for biological control of diseases caused by Colletotrichum; Major Colletotrichum Hosts; Colletotrichum diseases of strawberries in Florida; Biology and control of anthracnose diseases of citrus; Occurrence and management of anthracnose epidemics caused by Colletotrichum species on tree fruit crops in California; Recent advances in understanding Colletotrichum diseases of some tropical perennial crops; Host-pathogen interaction and variability of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum; Colletotrichum coccodes on potato; The Biology of Colletotrichum graminicola and maize anthracnose. 2000; 6" x 9" softcover; 400 pages; 69 black and white illustrations; ISBN 0-89054-258-9; (2 pounds) |
