Intended for use in advanced-level courses, this textbook addresses the underlying molecular principles of plant-pathogen interactions. It discusses fungal and oomycete infections, bacterial diseases, plant viruses, resistance, signaling, molecular diagnostics, disease control, and crop protection. Dickinson teaches biosciences at the University of Nottingham. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Studies of the interactions between plants and their viral, bacterial and fungal pathogens are of major importance in plant and crop production. More than 10% of potential agricultural yield is lost to these organisms annually worldwide, and major epidemics can cause significant local economic and environmental damage.

Molecular Plant Pathology addresses the underlying molecular principles of plant/pathogen interactions, in a readily-accessible textbook format.
