Informationen zum Autor P. Narayanasamy Klappentext Immunology in Plant Health and Its Impact on Food Safety suggests cost-effective! simple! and sensitive immunological techniques to assess plant health and food safety for the production of desirable foods! feeds! and timbers. This book explores the structure and biochemical constituents of healthy plants and the abiotic and biotic stresses that can cause a marked reduction in quantity and quality of agricultural produce. Researchers! faculty members! and graduate scholars in plant pathology! microbiology! biochemistry! environmental sciences! and food technology will find this text useful for producing healthy plants while maintaining a pollution-free environment. Zusammenfassung The author examines cost effective, simple and sensitive immunological techniques to assess plant health and food safety for the production of desirable foods, feeds, and timbers.
