Description

The module provides information on fundamental molecular methods used in plant pathology for identifying plant infections. Diagnosticians have a variety of benefits over more conventional ways when using molecular technologies for plant disease diagnosis. Plant pathology is a problem that directly affects crop yield, making it extremely important economically. A student studying plant science must have a solid understanding of the pathogens that cause plant diseases, as well as their symptoms, consequences, and treatments. The defensive mechanisms of infected plants, including trees, as well as the cytolocalization of molecules involved in host resistance have also been studied. Techniques that may be useful in investigating plant infections, such as colloidal gold cytochemistry in situ hybridization, etc., are explained. The book is a must-have for academicians, researchers, and students in the fields of agroscience, botany, and plant science since it provides an up-to-date description of the most recent trends and advancements in plant pathology and is written in a clear and accessible manner. For graduate students and research scholars, the book also works well as a text and a reference.
