Histopathology of Seed-Borne Infections

Providing the first comprehensive single volume reference on seed infection and disease, this work includes an up-to-date account on the development and structure of seed, pointing out the structural variations in seeds of most crop plant families. It offers chapters on seed-borne fungi, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes, and their diseases. It covers the penetration of ovule/seed by fungi, discusses physiogenic seed disorder, and provides common techniques and tips for histopathological studies. Histopathology of Seed-Borne Infections provides a literature review in a field where it is difficult to access older sources, serving both as a reference and a springboard for further inquiry.
