<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This collection reviews advances in the key areas required to achieve durable disease resistance in cereal crops, from advances in understanding pathogen biology/epidemiology and plant pathogen interactions to identifying sources of resistance and advance techniques for breeding new varieties.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>It's been estimated that up to 40% of crop yields are lost to pests and diseases worldwide, a problem exacerbated by increasing fungicide resistance. Given the continuous struggle between crops and the diseases which exploit them, achieving durable disease resistance remains a key challenge in ensuring global food security. A range of issues need to be addressed to meet this challenge for major diseases affecting cereal crops such as Fusarium, barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) and Septoria. <p/><i>Achieving durable disease resistance in cereals</i> provides an authoritative review of key advances, from better understanding of pathogen biology/epidemiology and plant-pathogen interactions, to identifying sources of resistance and advances in techniques for breeding new varieties. This collection offers a comprehensive review of research on achieving durable resistance to diseases such as Fusarium head blight, Septoria tritici blotch, Septoria nodorum blotch, tan spot, blast, BYDV and Ramularia. <p/>Edited by <b>Professor Richard Oliver</b>, Curtin University, Australia, <i>Achieving durable disease resistance in cereals</i> will be an excellent reference for researchers in cereal science, arable farmers, government and private sector agencies supporting cereal production and companies supplying the cereals sector (e.g. seed companies). It complements <i>Integrated disease management of wheat and barley</i>, also edited by Professor Oliver, published by Burleigh Dodds Science in 2018.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p><b>The proposed collection of chapters by leading scientists broadly covers all aspects of durable resistance in cereals and represents one of the most comprehensive resources available to scientists on this topic. It will serve as a key reference on disease resistance for many years to come. I am very much looking forward to having a personal copy on my desk.</b><br><i>Mark E.
