Abstract
Advances in Research on Plant Pathogenic Bacteria. Editors, S. S. Gnanamanickam and A. Mahadevan, Today & Tomorrow's Printers and Publishers, 24-B/5, Deshbandhu Gupta Road, Karol Bagh, New Delhi-110 005, India, 1988,245 pp., Rs. 395.00 or $ 65_00.
The science of bacteriology including phytobacteriology has made a tremendous progress during the recent years, and has contributed vastly to the understanding of fundamental biology. In India, however, the research emphasis is still on classical aspects of plant bacteriology. Researches on quantitative bacteriology, forecasting, advanced serology, ultrastructure, HR/SR factors, elicitors, durable resistance, biological control, plasmid biology, genetics of bacteria, etc. have not yet gathered momentum. The present volume is based on the proceedings of the National Symposium on Phytobacteriology held at the University of Madras, India on March 14-15, 1986, with the main objective to bring the plant bacteriologists together for exchange of views and draft future research strategies.
