Publisher Description: With the continuous struggle between crops and the diseases which exploit them, achieving durable disease resistance remains a challenge. The sector must influence developments in key areas to be able to achieve this goal for some of the major diseases that affect cereal crops. Achieving durable disease resistance in cereals provides an authoritative review of these developments, from advances in understanding pathogen biology/epidemiology and plant pathogen interactions, to identifying sources of resistance and advances in techniques for breeding new varieties. This collection offers a comprehensive discussion on the major diseases that affect cereal crops, including, but not limited to, leaf rust, Fusarium head blight, Septoria tritici blotch, tan spot and powdery mildew. Edited by Professor Richard Oliver, Curtin University, Australia, Achieving durable disease resistance in cereals will be a excellent reference framework for researchers in cereal science, arable farmers, government and private sector agencies supporting cereal production and companies supplying the cereals sector (e.g. seed companies; fertiliser and pesticide manufacturers. |
