Despite the research effort put into controlling pathogens, pests
and parasitic plants, crop losses are still a regular feature of
agriculture worldwide. This makes it important to manage the crop
appropriately in order to maximise yield. Understanding the
relationship between the occurrence and severity of attack, and the
resulting yield loss, is an important step towards improved crop
protection. Linked to this, is the need to better understand the
mechanisms responsible for reductions in growth and yield in
affected crops.
Physiological Responses of Plants to Attack is unique because it
deals with the effects of different attackers - pathogens,
herbivores, and parasitic plants, on host processes involved in
growth, reproduction, and yield. Coverage includes effects on
photosynthesis, partitioning of carbohydrates, water and nutrient
relations, and changes in plant growth hormones. Far from being
simply a consequence of attack, the alterations in primary
metabolism reflect a more dynamic and complex interaction between
plant and attacker, sometimes involving re-programming of plant
metabolism by the attacker.
Physiological Responses of Plants to Attack is written and
designed for use by senior undergraduates and postgraduates
studying agricultural sciences, applied entomology, crop
protection, plant pathology and plant sciences. Biological and
agricultural research scientists in the agrochemical and crop
protection industries, and in academia, will find much of use in
this book. All libraries in universities and research
establishments where biological and agricultural sciences are
studied and taught should have copies of this exciting book on
their shelves
