Plant Pathology de George N. Agrios

Plant Pathology

Autor George N. Agrios
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 ian 2005

Observăm în această a cincea ediție a lucrării Plant Pathology o extindere considerabilă a bazei de date factuale, volumul fiind cu 45% mai mare față de versiunea precedentă. Un capitol esențial care subliniază relevanța actuală a textului este cel dedicat geneticii rezistenței plantelor și utilizării tehnicilor moleculare în diagnostic și tratament. George N. Agrios propune o structură riguroasă, pornind de la mecanismele de atac ale patogenilor și răspunsul de apărare al plantelor, până la analiza detaliată a factorilor de mediu care influențează epidemiologia.

Descoperim aici un suport vizual impresionant, cele aproape 2000 de ilustrații și fotografii color fiind vitale pentru recunoașterea simptomelor în teren. Organizarea pe 16 capitole permite o progresie logică: primele secțiuni tratează conceptele fundamentale de parazitism și fiziopatologie, în timp ce a doua jumătate a cărții este dedicată taxonomiei bolilor cauzate de fungi, procariote, virusuri și nematode. Cititorii familiarizați cu Plant Pathology Concepts and Laboratory Exercises de Bonnie H. Ownley vor aprecia în lucrarea lui Agrios rigoarea academică și profunzimea detaliilor teoretice, care transformă acest manual dintr-un ghid practic într-o enciclopedie de referință pentru învățământul superior.

Notăm, de asemenea, includerea unor secțiuni noi despre controlul biologic, reflectând schimbările din curriculumul modern de protecție a plantelor. Față de Plant Pathology and Disease Management, acest volum oferă o acoperire mult mai vastă a bolilor abiotice și a interacțiunilor la nivel molecular, fiind un instrument indispensabil pentru facultățile de horticultură și silvicultură.

Descriere scurtă

This fifth edition of the classic textbook in plant pathology outlines how to recognize, treat, and prevent plant diseases. It provides extensive coverage of abiotic, fungal, viral, bacterial, nematode and other plant diseases and their associated epidemiology. It also covers the genetics of resistance and modern management on plant disease.
Plant Pathology, Fifth Edition, is the most comprehensive resource and textbook that professionals, faculty and students can consult for well-organized, essential information. This thoroughly revised edition is 45% larger, covering new discoveries and developments in plant pathology and enhanced by hundreds of new color photographs and illustrations.


  • The latest information on molecular techniques and biological control in plant diseases
  • Comprehensive in coverage
  • Numerous excellent diagrams and photographs
  • A large variety of disease examples for instructors to choose for their course

Recenzii

"I have mentioned to numerous undergraduate and graduate students during the past two decades that plant pathologists are indeed fortunate to have the text Plant Pathology by George N. Agrios as an accessible, comprehensive reference on many aspects of phytopathology...The content of the fifth edition (922 pages) represents a significant expansion of content from the fourth edition (635 pages)...there are numerous new sections within individual chapters. Revised chapters contain significant expansion of text, figures, and photographs. A new feature of the book is shaded text boxes that contain brief articles of separate but related topics...Overall, the extensive use of color in the fifth edition readily accomplishes 'the author's dream to have all the figures in color' and is a welcome addition to this new edition...The comprehensive index to the text is very helpful as topics, pathogens, and diseases are all cross-indexed...Overall, the fifth edition is a welcome addition to the literature on plant pathology, and is highly recommended to anyone with an interest in this area of study." --G.J. Boland, University of Guelph, in AGRICULTURE, ECOSYSTEMS AND ENVIRONMENT
"Plant Pathology by George Agrios is a comprehensive treatise for those within or coming into this field. The fifth edition is partially built on the compilations of the previous editions, however, like following Dorothy from the black and white of Kansas to the color land of Oz, the addition of color has dramatically enhanced the clarity of photos and diagrams. This change is important for correctly identifying the plant disease symptoms. The photos, diagrams and text can be understood by readers ranging from master gardeners to basic researchers. The book's past reputation as the plant pathology "bible" is definitely enhanced and the price remains reasonable...With this book as a text, no excuse remains for a poorly taught plant pathology course." --Lee Hadwiger for PLANT SCIENCE
"This has become a very comprehensive book that every plant pathologist should have for reference. All students should be familiar with this book and it should be a part of their educational experience." --Patrick E. Lipps, Ohio State University
"Agrios’ text is the standard introductory work for the discipline of plant pathology. There is no single volume which matches it for breadth of topics and detail of coverage." --Jeanne D. Mihail, University of Missouri
Praise for the previous edition:
"...a classic textbook embracing the whole of plant pathology, ideal for undergraduate courses and for those associated with research and practice of applied plant pathology in all climatic regions. The new, larger format and extensive use of high quality illustrations (including colour plates) and the widespread use of annotated flow diagrams to show pathogen life cycles, the gene-for-gene concept, forecasting of epidemics and procedures for isolation and culture of pathogens are all exceedingly well done. I recommend this book highly for teaching and reference." -- EXPERIMENTAL AGRICULTURE
