Biotic Stress Management in Tomato Biotechnological Approaches

Biotic Stress Management in Tomato Biotechnological Approaches

This valuable volume highlights biotechnological tools and their utilization for biotic stress management in the tomato plant one of the world’s most important vegetable crops consumed by us in our daily diet and which is vulnerable to over 200 diseases as well as the impact of global climate change. The chapters cover the major diseases of tomato along with practical biotic stress management strategies through biotechnological and molecular approaches. The focus is on molecular tools that can be used to prevent or mitigate damage from such diseases as bacterial wilt bacterial canker damping off seedlings late blight early blight fusarium wilt septorial leaf spot cercospora leaf spot verticilium wilt tomato leaf curl virus tobacco mosaic virus tomato spotted wilt virus root knot nematode fruit borer and sucking pests. Gene stacking/pyramiding and postharvest management strategies are also systematically discussed. This book provides an up-to-date and comprehensive review that will be a greatly useful resource containing basic facts and information on the new and recent discoveries for biotic stresses management of tomatoes. | Biotic Stress Management in Tomato Biotechnological Approaches

Biology and Ecology of Edible Marine Bivalve Molluscs

Biology and Ecology of Edible Marine Bivalve Molluscs

This comprehensive volume provides a plethora of first-hand information on the diversity biology and ecology of edible marine bivalve molluscs. It covers the biology of edible marine bivalves; profiles about 180 species providing information on their habitat distribution morphology food and feeding reproduction conservation status etc. ; discusses their nutritional values; examines their pharmaceutical value; and looks at their diseases and parasites. This abundance of knowledge is presented in an easy-to-read style with informative illustrations. Marine bivalve molluscs play important roles in the marine ecosystems by filtering water and serving as habitat and prey for a variety of sea life. This diverse group of species estimated at around 9 200 inhabits virtually the entire world’s oceans from the balmy tropics to the sub-zero Arctic and from deep oceans to sandy and rocky shorelines. Among the marine bivalves a total of 180 species (including mussels oysters scallops cockles and clams) have long been a part of the diet of coastal human populations. Many species of marine bivalves are also commercially important for other purposes such as pearls and shells for jewelry and decoration. The volume part of the Biology and Ecology of Marine Life book series will be of great use to students and researchers in fisheries science marine biology aquatic biology and zoology.
