Plant Pathology Concepts and Laboratory Exercises serves as a valuable resource for both students and researchers. This guide explains definitions of plant disease, characteristics of organisms that cause disease, and how diseases interact with hosts and the environment. Each topic is discussed by an expert in the field and supported by one or more lab exercises. The structure of the text allows for easy reading, with references minimized and major concepts highlighted at the beginning of each chapter. The laboratory exercises provide added flexibility to instructors
