Infos

This new edition provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of phytoplasma research. This includes highlighting recent advances, exploring new methodologies, and addressing emerging challenges. This includes phylogenetics, disease epidemiology, vector management, host-pathogen interactions and molecular mechanisms of infection.

---

This is a comprehensive and up-to-date resource that delves into the world of phytoplasmas - tiny bacteria that infect plants, causing diseases with significant agricultural and horticultural implications. This new edition combines the latest scientific knowledge, cutting-edge methodologies, and practical insights to provide a complete picture of phytoplasma research, from taxonomy to disease management. It presents in-depth coverage of phytoplasma phylogenetics, epidemiology, vector control strategies, and host-pathogen interactions. It covers the molecular mechanisms underpinning phytoplasma infections and explores recent breakthroughs in genome sequencing techniques. This edition also highlights the importance of precision agriculture principles in phytoplasma disease management and discusses novel approaches such as RNA interference for disrupting phytoplasma transmission.

Autor

Dr. Wei is a research plant pathologist in the Molecular Plant Pathology Laboratory, BARC-NEA, ARS, USDA. She completed her Ph.D. in 2004 at the Plant Pathology Laboratory, the University of Tokyo, and has been a member of MPPL since 2005. With over 15 years of experience, Dr. Wei specializes in the detection, identification, classification, and genomic evolution of plant pathogenic phytoplasma and spiroplasma, which are cell wall-less bacteria responsible for numerous diseases in agriculturally and environmentally significant plant species worldwide. Dr. Wei's research also extends to understanding phytoplasma host interactions, especially the molecular and physiological mechanisms of phytoplasma-induced diversion of plant meristem fate. She has authored or co-authored over 115 publications in peer-reviewed journals. In addition to her research, Dr. Wei actively engages in scientific service. She has served on international and national scientific committees and grant review panels. Dr. Wei also has served in an editorial role for international journals and has contributed her expertise as a reviewer for more than 40 international journals.
