Summary: Advances in Plant Disease Management: Volume I: Fundamental and Basic Research is an invaluable compilation for researchers/students/stakeholders/policymakers in agriculture. The book aims to offer the latest understanding of fundamental and basic research fronts toward managing crop plants diseases. After clearly explaining the updated knowledge on the host immune system, and pathogens interplay with the host as unraveled through genomics, bioinformatics, and molecular studies, this book equips readers with the knowledge to confidently account for them during the formulation of management strategies for major crop plant diseases.

Key Topics Covered:

• Newer insight into the host-pathogen interaction, including effector-driven pathogenesis in different host-pathogen systems
• Updates on plant defense pathways leading to resistance to pathogens
• Use of novel molecules, antagonists, and genome-editing tools toward manipulating host resistance
• Plant protection policies that support the agricultural production system from a global perspective

Why This Book Matters: This book offers comprehensive coverage of the research advances in plant disease management, providing readers with the latest information on managing crop plant diseases. It is an essential resource for researchers, students, stakeholders, and policymakers in the agricultural sector.

Target Audience: Researchers, students, stakeholders, and policymakers in agriculture

Key Features: Comprehensive coverage of plant disease management, latest research on host-pathogen interaction, plant defense pathways, and plant protection policies
