Résumé
Advances in Rice Blast Research provides a complete overview of the research carried out on the rice-blast pathosystem. This book gathers, in the same volume, the most recent works on rice blast fungus genetics and molecular biology of pathogenicity, rice blast fungus population studies, genetics and molecular biology of rice resistance to blast, including resistance gene cloning. it also presents the latest results on resistance breeding and resistance management strategies, epidemiology and disease management. This book is a must for plant pathologists and breeders working on rice blast but also for plant pathologists and breeders dealing with fungal diseases in general because the rice-blast pathosystem is a model in plant pathology.
