Colletotrichum: Host Specificity, Pathology, and Host-Pathogen Interaction

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."

Summarizing the research of leading scientists, this book focuses on the genus Colletotrichum and the development of Colletotrichum species epidemics worldwide. The information in this volume can be used 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.
