"This book is number 106 in the Burleigh Dodds Series in Agriculture
Science and continues this excellent series of informative reviews in
plant and animal agricultural production systems. This volume is a
collection of chapters by experts in cereal diseases and disease
management from around the world and contains some excellent detailed
overviews on recent advances in our understanding of key cereal
pathogens and advances in their management. It will be a valuable
resource for wheat and barley focussed researchers, breeders and
growers." (Professor Matt Dickinson, University of Nottingham, UK -
Plant Pathology) It’s been estimated that up to 40% of crop yields
are lost to pests and diseases worldwide, a problem exacerbated by
increasing fungicide resistance. Given the continuous struggle between
crops and the diseases which exploit them, achieving durable disease
resistance remains a key challenge in ensuring global food security. A
range of issues need to be addressed to meet this challenge for major
diseases affecting cereal crops such as Fusarium, barley yellow dwarf
virus (BYDV) and Septoria. Achieving durable disease resistance in
cereals provides an authoritative review of key advances, from better
understanding of pathogen biology/epidemiology and plant-pathogen
interactions, to identifying sources of resistance and advances in
techniques for breeding new varieties. This collection offers a
comprehensive review of research on achieving durable resistance to
diseases such as Fusarium head blight, Septoria tritici blotch,
Septoria nodorum blotch, tan spot, blast, BYDV and Ramularia. Edited
by Professor Richard Oliver, Curtin University, Australia, Achieving
durable disease resistance in cereals will be an excellent reference
for researchers in cereal science, arable farmers, government and
private sector agencies supporting cereal production and companies
supplying the cereals sector (e.g. seed companies). It complements
Integrated disease management of wheat and barley, also edited by
Professor Oliver, published by Burleigh Dodds Science in 2018.
