Dispersal of microbial plant pathogens via seeds and propagules has assumed more importance than other modes of dispersal, as infected seeds and propagules have the potential to become the primary sources of carrying pathogen inoculum for subsequent crops. Several diseases transmitted through seeds and propagules have been shown to have the potential to damage economies as a result of huge quantitative and qualitative losses in numerous crops. Hence, it is essential to rapidly detect, identify and differentiate the microbial plant pathogens present in seeds and propagules precisely and reliably, using sensitive techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMicrobial Plant Pathogens: Detection and Management in Seeds and Propagules\u003c\/i\u003e provides a comprehensive resource on seed-borne and propagule-borne pathogens.
