Fire blight is a major disease of apples, pears and certain woody ornamental plants. It is caused by the bacterium Erwinia amylovora. This organism was one of the first plant pathogenic bacteria to be extensively investigated, and has become a model for study by bacteriologists in the development of their subject.
Written by leading research workers from the USA, Europe and New Zealand, this book is the first comprehensive volume for 20 years to address this subject.
"This book may be considered the most up-to-date reference book on fire blight. It should be on the must-have list of scientists and graduate students working in the field of bacteriology, disease control, plant breeding, and molecular-plant microbe interactions."
