Request a sales quotePhytoplasma Diseases of Major Crops, Trees, and Weeds is the second volume in a three-volume series dedicated to the analysis of plant pathogenic phytoplasmas across Asia. With a close look into the different types of plants affected by phytoplasma, the book offers management strategies to develop resistant plant strains.
Phytoplasma diseases pose serious economic losses in many Asian countries, for which there is very little awareness within society. The chapters in Volume 2 comprehensively review predominant plant species and how they are impacted by phytoplasma diseases, providing information on host-pathogen interaction, characterization, and genetic diversity.
The Phytoplasma Diseases in Asian Countries series will be an essential read for students, researchers and agriculturalists interested in plant pathology. Volume 2 will be of particular interest to those needing to access the latest information on plant management and successful plant breeding strategies.
- Provides the latest information on emerging phytoplasma diseases across Asia
- Presents chapters organized by type of plant, such as vegetable, cereals and fruits
- Highlights management strategies for developing resistant varieties of crops and plants
Researchers and students interested in plant pathology, plant biochemistry, plant genetics and agriculture.

Naghmeh Nejat
She has received her PhD in Plant Pathology from the University of Putra Malaysia, where she studied the detection of unknown diseases in palms and developed protocols to detect, identify and quantify phytoplasmas in plant materials. She studied the genetic mechanisms involved in phytoplasma tolerance in coconut palm through transcriptome analysis over her research fellow at the University of Putra Malaysia. She led several research projects on phytoplasma diseases with the purpose to establish/ or improve strategies for prevention, timely decision making and effective management of the diseases with economic importance. She has published several research articles on the subject as peer reviewed papers in leading international journals. As an outcome of her research findings, the entire phytoplasma research community benefits from the discovery of the new taxa.
