Preface
Now that scientific focus is increasingly shifting to plant roots, it is a timely occasion to summarize our current knowledge on belowground defence strategies in plants by world-class scientists actively working in the area. The volume includes chapters covering belowground defence to main soil pathogens such as Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, Verticillium, Phytophthora, Pythium, and Plasmodiophora, as well as to migratory and sedentary plant parasitic nematodes. In addition, the role of root exudates in belowground plant defence is highlighted. Finally, accumulating evidence on how plants can differentiate beneficial soil microbes from the pathogenic ones is covered as well. Better understanding of belowground defences can lead to the development of environmentally friendly plant protection strategies effective against soilborne pathogens which cause substantial damage on many crop pl
