Reviews
This is a true learning tool. I can't wait to use it in introductory plant pathology courses and to share it with the public when they say, "You're a what? Plant pathologist?" * Alejandra Huerta, Assistant Professor, Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology, North Carolina State University, USA *
Essential reading for students of all levels: from the scientifically curious layperson to the seasoned specialist. * Charles Mitchell, Professor, Department of Biology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, USA *
This treatise is impressive in its comprehensive and understandable introduction to the basic biology of diverse plant pathogens, and the complex interactions that they have with their plant hosts. There is a lot to learn and think about in this book! * Steven E. Lindow, Professor Emeritus, Department of Plant and Microbial Biology, University of California, Berkeley, USA *
