Plant Disease Resistance

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Plant Disease Resistance is crucial to the reliable production of food, and it provides significant reductions in agricultural use of fuel, water, land and other inputs. There are numerous examples of devastating plant disease impacts (see Irish Potato Famine, Chestnut blight) as well as recurrent severe plant disease issues (see Rice blast, Soybean cyst nematode, Citrus canker). However, disease control measures are reasonably successful for most crops, and across large regions and many crop species, it is estimated that diseases typically reduce plant yields by 10% every year.
