Description for Sales People: With the mankind's strong dependance upon the use of pesticides in mind this volume reviews the latest research on the topic and examines the implications of these findings for delaying or avoiding the development of resistance in plants to agrochemicals. Table of Contents: Mechanism of Resistance to Fungicides.- Molecular Mechanisms of Insecticide Resistance.- Mechanisms of Resistance to Acaricides.- Mechanisms of Resistance to Herbicides.- Plant Engineering for Crop Protection: Implications for Resistance Management. Marc Notes: Over the past 30 years one alarming trend is the emergence of plant species resistant to agrochemicals (e.g. insecticides, herbicides, fungicides). This volume reviews the latest research and examines the implications of the findings for delaying or avoiding resistance in plants to agrochemicals.
