The Physiology and Biochemistry of Free-living and Plant-parasitic Nematodes
Συγγραφέας: R.N. Perry, D.J. Wright
ISBN: 9780851992310
Σελίδες: 448
Σχήμα: 17 Χ 24
Εξώφυλλο: Σκληρό
Έτος έκδοσης: 1998
Readership
Students and researchers in invertebrate biology, crop protection, and pest management.
Main Description
Accurate and detailed information on the fundamental biology of free-living and plant-parasitic nematodes has several important functions. It is needed to gain an understanding of their highly complex ecology and, since many plant-parasitic nematodes are major agricultural pests, it also greatly enhances attempts to implement crop protection strategies. In addition, information on physiology and biochemistry has particular relevance to studies of gene function in nematodes and the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has become established as one of the most important model organisms for molecular genetic studies.
Written by leading research workers from Europe, USA, Australia and New Zealand, this is the only up-to-date reference book which reviews and integrates all the current research findings on the physiology and biochemistry of these organisms, including the molecular information which has accumulated in recent years. It is essential reading for researchers, advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students and lecturers in plant nematology, parasitology, plant pathology and agricultural zoology and will also be a valuable reference source for students of invertebrate biology, crop protection, and pest management.
