Overview

Environmental pollution resulting from widespread pesticide application has become a serious worldwide problem. This reference addresses this problem by exploring the biochemical and molecular mechanisms of plant pathogenesis and emphasizing the use of ""pest-control agents"" rather than ""pesticides"" for plant-disease control. Topics examined include pathogenicity, the resistance of plants against pathogens, the offensive and defensive struggle between hosts and parasites, methods for using natural defence mechanisms to develop environmentally sound disease-control agents, and the use of modern biotechnology for plant disease control.
