{"product_id":"capsicum","title":"Capsicum","description":"\u003cp\u003eCapsicum, more commonly as chili or chili pepper, is an important global vegetable and spice crop. Anthracnose disease, caused by a complex of \u003ci\u003eColletotrichum\u003c\/i\u003e species, is the major biotic stress limiting chili production in tropical and subtropical countries. Anthracnose disease mainly manifests itself as a post-harvest disease, resulting in large necrotic lesions on the fruit. This disease is mainly controlled by the application of a \"cocktail\" of fungicides as commercial resistant cultivars are not available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn recent years, insights into the complexity of the pathogen and the genomics of the host have been accomplished using cutting-edge molecular technologies. The author has been at the forefront of this technology revolution in \u003ci\u003eCapsicum\u003c\/i\u003e breeding through her research to understand the host and pathogen which has led to the development of new anthracnose resistant genotypes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCapsicum: Breeding Strategies for Anthracnose Resistance is structured based on a review of the origin and evolution of \u003ci\u003eCapsicum\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCapsicum\u003c\/i\u003e genetic diversity and germplasm resources, the latest research in the biology and taxonomy of \u003ci\u003eColletotrichum\u003c\/i\u003e pathogens of \u003ci\u003eCapsicum\u003c\/i\u003e, and the classic and molecular breeding for resistance in \u003ci\u003eCapsicum\u003c\/i\u003e to the suite of \u003ci\u003eColletotrichum\u003c\/i\u003e pathogens that infect \u003ci\u003eCapsicum\u003c\/i\u003e globally. This book brings together knowledge on both the pathogen and the host, which is often overlooked when reviewing the breeding and genetics of a crop plant. It informs the facts behind breeding for resistance from both the host and pathogen perspectives. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45588661403886,"sku":"9781138589230","price":176.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781138589230.jpg?v=1721211382","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/capsicum","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
