Phytophthora: Methods and Protocols

Gerth, Monica L.; Bradshaw, Rosie E.

This comprehensive volume examines techniques for studying Phytophthora species, a devastating group of plant pathogens that cause diseases in crops and natural ecosystems worldwide. The book compiles essential molecular techniques and methods, such as CRISPR-Cas genome editing for investigating pathogenicity and resistance, as well as tools for detecting, visualizing, and quantifying disease. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, each chapter includes an introduction to its respective topic, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and practical, Phytophthora: Methods and Protocols equips researchers with the tools needed to address the challenges posed by these destructive microorganisms.
