Description
Wiley India Pvt Ltd Induced Resistance For Plant Defence A Sustainable Approach To Crop Protection by Walters Dale Et.Al
About the Book: Induced Resistance for Plant Defence: A Sustainable Approach to Crop ProtectionInduced Resistance for Plant Defence provides comprehensive details of the science, methodology and applications of this important subject, which now offers the prospect of broad spectrum, long lasting and potentially environmentally benign disease control in plants. The cutting edge contents of this extremely important book include coverage of cellular aspects of induced resistance, including signaling and Defence mechanisms, the tradeoffs associated with the expression of induced resistance, work on integrating induced resistance into crop protection practice and induced resistance from a commercial perspective.ContentsList of contributorsPrefaceChapter 1: Introduction: definitions and some historyChapter 2: Agents that can elicit induced resistanceChapter 3: Genomics in induced resistanceChapter 4: Signalling cascades involved in induced resistanceChapter 5: Types and mechanisms of rapidly-induced plant resistance to herbivorous arthropodsChapter 6: Mechanisms of Defence to pathogens: biochemistry and physiologyChapter 7: Induced resistance in natural ecosystems and pathogen population biology: exploiting interactionsChapter 8: Microbial induction of resistance to pathogensChapter 9: Trade-offs associated with induced resistanceChapter 10: Topical induction of inducers for disease controlChapter 11: Integration of induced resistance in crop productionChapter 12: Exploitation of induced resistance: a commercial perspectiveChapter 13: Induced resistance in crop protection: the future, drivers and.barriersIndexAbout the Author: Dale Walters, Adrian Newton, Gary LyonDale Walters, Crop and Soil Research Group, Scottish Agricultural College, Edinburgh, U.K.Adrian Newton, Scottish Crops Research Institute, Dundee, U.K.Gary Lyon, Scottish Crops Research Institute, Dundee, U.K.
