Smagghe, Guy and Isabel Diaz (eds.)
Arthropod-Plant Interactions. Novel Insights and Approaches for IPM. 2012. (Progress in Biological Control, 14). illus. col. illus. XV, 226 p. gr8vo. Hardcover.
The book consists of multiple chapters by experts on the different aspects in the unique relationship between arthropods and plants, the underlying mechanisms, realized successes and failures of interactions and application for IPM, and future lines of research and perspectives. Interesting is the availability of the current genomes of different insects, mites and nematodes and different important plants and agricultural crops to bring better insights in the cross talk mechanisms and interacting players. This book will be the first one that integrates all this fascinating and newest (from the last 5 years) information from different leading researchlaboratories in the world and with perspectives from academia, government and industry.
