Recent Advances in Plant Nematology: 0 - Hardcover

A lot of new information keeps on generating and enriching every sphere of plant nematology. The primary aim of the present book Recent Advances in Plant Nematology"" is to present comprehensive and critical review of the work done on different newer aspects of subjects like biochemical research, taxonomy, application of computers in nematode identification, different nematode management strategies and other recent aspects of plant nematology. Contents on newer aspects of plant nematology will be of great help to plant Hematologist for tackling the nematode problems using recent scientific and technological information compiled in the book. The book will be useful to researchers, teachers, students and extension workers of Plant Nematology and Plant Pathology. 1 nematode induced galls and their histopathology-a review. 2 biochemical research on plant parasitic nematodes in india and its significance. 3 biochemical and histchemical alteration resulting nematode infection in plant- a review. 4 electrophoresis, isozymes and nematodes identification. 5 taxonomy of dorylaimida with special reference to phytonematodes. 6 species and races of root-knot nematode in india. 7 application of computers in nematode identification. 8 role of zoological survey of india in indian nematology. 9 physiologica specialisation in cereal and potato cyst nematodes. 10 sex attraction and coputation behaviour in nematodes. 11 environment, agriculture and nematology. 12 biological control of insects using nematodes. 13 nematodes management-and overview. 14 crop resistance to nematodes. 15 vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal(VAM) fungi: nematode management and growth responses in forage crops. 16 strategies for the control of plant parasitic nematodes with special reference to IPM. 17 botanicals in the management of plant parasitic nematodes. 18 DNA based methods for identification of nematodes. 19 culture of plant parasitic namatodes: prolems and perspective.

Dr. Pravin Chandra Trivedi, Associate Professor, Department of Botany, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur, India, obtained his B.Sc. (1972), M.Sc. (1974) and Ph.D. (1978) degrees from the University of Rajasthan, Jaipur. He has a brilliant academic record getting First in all the public examinations. He was appointed as Assistant Professor in Botany in 1974 and Associate Professor in 1987. Dr. Trivedi worked as a Post-doctoral Fellow (1983-84) at the Department of Plant Pathology, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, USA with renowned nematologist, Professor K.R. Barker. It was funded by Ministry of Education, Government of India. Dr. Trivedi visited several major research laboratories engaged in nematode research sand presented research papers in many international conferences in 14 countries viz. USA, Canada, UK, Germany, The Nether lands, Japan, Italy, Denmark, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Singapore, Austria and Belgium. He has been the Principal Investigator of several major research projects funded by the national organisation viz. D.S.T., U.G.C. and C.S.l.R. and guided research on nematode diseases with special reference to Rajasthan State. His current major research interest includes biological control and host-parasite relationship. Dr. Trivedi has published more than hundred research papers and review articles in journals of national and international repute. He is an author of one textbook and edited five books. He has guided thirteen Ph.D. students and, many are working presently. He is a life member of more than one dozen learned bodies in India and abroad and is a Fellow of several of them including The Indian Botanical Society, Indian Phyto-pathological Society, The Nematological Society of India, etc. Presently he is a member of Editorial/Advisory Board of Journals : Journal of Indian Botanical Society, Journal of Phytological Research, Current Nematology, Afro-Asian Nematology Network, etc., and is an elected President of Indian Phytopathological Society, Central Zone (1997) and Councillor of Western Zone of The Nematological Society of India. He has organised two national seminars and participated in many at national and international levels.
