This book looks at disease resistance in wheat, concentrating on all the economically important diseases - their economic impact and geographical spread, breeding for resistance, pathogen variability, resistance mechanisms and recent advances made on resistance genes. Newer strategies for identifying resistance genes and identify resistance mechanisms are discussed, including cloning, gene transfer and the use of genetically modified plants.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1: Diseases in Wheat Crops - An Introduction 2: Stem Rust 3: Wheat Leaf Rust 4: Resistance to Stripe Rust in Wheat: Pathogen Biology Driving Resistance Breeding 5: Wheat Powdery Mildew 6: Wheat Resistance to Spot Blotch or Foliar Blight 7: Resistance Breeding for Tan Spot (Pyrenophora tritici-repentis) of Wheat 8: Resistance in Wheat to Septoria Diseases Caused by Mycosphaerella graminicola (Septoria tritici) and Phaeosphaeria (Stagonospora) nodorum 9: Resistance in Wheat to Loose Smut 10: Resistance in Wheat to Karnal Bunt 11: Common Bunt of Wheat: an Old Foe Remains a Current Threat 12: Resistance to Head Blight Caused by Fusarium spp. in Wheat 13: Resistance of Wheat to Viral Diseases 14: Flag Smut of Wheat: Pathogen Biology and Host Resistance 15: Resistance in Wheat to Nematode Diseases","brand":"CABI Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49413570658647,"sku":"9781845938185","price":108.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781845938185.jpg?v=1730520641","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/disease-resistance-in-wheat-9781845938185","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
