Book Synopsis Plant Biotic Interactions by : Ajit Varma
Download or read book Plant Biotic Interactions written by Ajit Varma and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-28 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights recent advances in the field of plant-biotic interactions and explores current serious issues in the crop production industry. It is intended to attract more attention to these important, but often overlooked areas, and to stimulate new ideas for future research. Plants are constantly under attack by pathogens, pests, and parasites, which can significantly impact worldwide food production and human health. While pathogens and pests attack and interconnect with their hosts in a variety of ways, plants have developed sophisticated immune systems to fight infections. In the field of plant-biotic interactions, most of the studies to date have focused on the function and signaling pathways of plant disease resistance proteins and pattern recognition receptors, as well as pathogen effector proteins. In contrast, this book presents new and emerging research areas, and introduces students, researchers, academics, and policy advisors to the latest trends in e.g. microbial technology, environmental microbiology, agricultural science, the health sciences, biological sciences and other related disciplines.

Book Synopsis Soil Biodiversity and Root Pathogens in Agroecosystems by : María Del Pilar Rodríguez-Guzmán

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil ecosystem is a living and dynamic environment, habitat of thousands of microbial species, animal organisms and plant roots, integrated all of them in the food webs, and performing vital functions like organic matter decomposition and nutrient cycling; soil is also where plant roots productivity represent the main and first trophic level (producers), the beginning of the soil food web and of thousands of biological interactions. Agroecosystems are modified ecosystems by man in which plant, animal and microorganisms biodiversity has been altered, and sometimes decreased to a minimum number of species. Plant diseases, including root diseases caused by soil-borne plant pathogens are important threats to crop yield and they causes relevant economic losses. Soil-borne plant pathogens and the diseases they produce can cause huge losses and even social and environmental changes, for instance the Irish famine caused by Phytophthora infestans (1845,Äì1853), or the harmful ecological alterations in the jarrah forests of Western Australia affected by Phytophthora cinnamomi in the last 100¬†years. How can a root pathogen species increase its populations densities at epidemic levels? In wild ecosystems usually we expect the soil biodiversity (microbiome, nematodes, mycorrhiza, protozoa, worms, etc.) through the trophic webs and different interactions between soil species, are going to regulate each other and the pathogens populations, avoiding disease outbreaks. In agroecosystems where plant diseases and epidemics are frequent and destructive, soil-borne plant pathogens has been managed applying different strategies: chemical, cultural, biological agents and others; however so far, there is not enough knowledge about how important is soil biodiversity, mainly microbiome diversity and soil food webs structure and function in the management of root pathogens, in root and plant health, in healthy food production, and maybe more relevant in the conservation of soil as a natural resource and derived from it, the ecosystem services important for life in our planet.

Book Synopsis Soil-borne Disease Suppression to Rhizoctonia Solani AG8 in Agricultural Soils from a Semi-arid Region in South Australia by : Rowena Sjaan Davey
Download or read book Soil-borne Disease Suppression to Rhizoctonia Solani AG8 in Agricultural Soils from a Semi-arid Region in South Australia written by Rowena Sjaan Davey and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rhizoctonia solani AG8 is a significant soil-borne pathogen of cereal roots in semi-arid Mediterranean regions of Australia and the Pacific North West region in the United States of America, causing severe productivity and economic losses to farmers. During the past twenty years the conversion of many farming systems to conservation tillage has meant that the mycelial network of the pathogen is no longer seasonally disturbed by cultivation which has subsequently increased the potential for greater incidence of Rhizoctonia root rot. There has been some success in reducing incidence by using modifications to direct drill seeding equipment enabling some disturbance to Rhizoctonia at sowing. However, a long term sustainable solution with both economic and environmental benefit, as concluded from a review of the literature (Chapter 1) is to harness the potential for biological control of the disease via natural or induced suppression in soils. Biological suppression to specific disease organisms in soil has been reported worldwide from a range of environments. Further, the development of biological soil-borne suppression to Rhizoctonia root rot has been described for one specific agricultural location (Avon) in South Australia following a decade of stubble retention together with higher than average nutrient inputs (Chapter 1). The studies in this thesis investigate soil-borne suppression to Rhizoctonia in agricultural soils from a semi-arid region of South Australia called Eyre Peninsula (EP) that produces 40% of the State's grain. The context is that historically in Eyre Peninsula farming systems crop residue inputs to soil are inherently low, as are fertiliser N and P inputs. However, recent intensification of these systems with the implementation of continuous cereals and minimum or zero tillage has resulted in greater inputs of stubbles and fertilisers. Rhizoctonia root disease is prevalent in the mainly coarse textured alkaline soils of the region, and the reduction in cultural control associated with adoption of reduced till systems has highlighted a need for alternative control measures. In a broad context, the key question addressed in this thesis is whether the soil ecology to suppress Rhizoctonia is present or can develop in these soils from a region considered an extremely harsh environment climatically as well as edaphically. Specific key questions will be addressed in the discussion section of each chapter. The thesis, through a series of controlled environment studies, examines abiotic-biotic interactions between the soil, the Rhizoctonia solani pathogen and wheat seedlings. The work assesses how the soil organisms involved in disease suppression (both the pathogen Rhizoctonia solani AG8 organism and other antagonists or competitors) are influenced by cereal stubbles and fertilizer inputs to the system.
