This book delves into the molecular aspects of plant disease resistance, enhancing plant immunity, and the latest omics or approaches in plant disease management. In the past, microbial strains or products have been widely used to inhibit the growth of phytopathogens and manage diseases. However, it is important to note that plants respond to various biotic and abiotic stresses through morphological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms. There is still much to learn about the molecular interactions between hosts, pathogens, and biocontrol agents, which can be valuable in developing and applying microbial antagonists for effective phytopathogen management. This book aims to address this knowledge gap in the literature.

This book is of interest to teachers, researchers, agronomists, horticulturalists, scientists, capacity builders, and policymakers. It also serves as additional reading material for undergraduate and graduate students in agriculture, microbiology, and environmental science.
