by Bertold Hock (Editor), Erich F. Elstner (Editor)

Overview

In order to keep track of all the compounds and pathogens affecting plant metabolism and development, you would need to spend all your waking hours combing periodicals and the Internet in dozens of languages, as new toxins via pollutants and migratory or mutant pathogens are being discovered every day.

Editorial Reviews

"...the book format is a well structured, up-to-date set of description of the biotic and abiotic stresses that affect plant health. There is a large amount of extremely informative figures, chemical structures, enzymic pathways, symptomology photographs and chemical reactions. Schematic diagrams, often nicely demonstrating system complexity, are supplied for many molecular and cellular processes. The book…is clearly designed as a reference source - a very useful one at that."
