Biotic Stress Management in Rice: Molecular
Approaches, addresses biotic stress of rice and its
management through molecular approaches. It focuses on the
biotechnological aspects of rice with the aim of reducing the
fungicide and insecticides and ultimately ensuring safety of rice
as a food as well as the environment.

Rice is an important crop in much of the Asia-Pacific region, and
there are a number of threats to rice production, including
fungal, viral, and bacterial diseases and insect pests, both in
temperate and tropical countries, which can cause the significant
economic loss. Remarkable efforts are being made by scientists
and breeders to raise rice productivity and safety by modifying
and manipulating rice plants to survive under different types of
stresses. The book provides an understanding of the genetic basis
of resistance and susceptibility and goes on to present studies
directed to understand the host-plant interaction in rice that
have given rise to specialized breeding programs for resistance
to diseases and insect-pests. In addition to these advancements
in molecular breeding, marker-assisted selection and transgenic
approaches open new ways to increase resistance in rice for
better production under several biotic stresses. This book covers
the most recent advancements and research strategies of molecular
breeding, transgenic approaches, and other tools for effective
biotic stress management in rice.

This book should find a prominent place on the shelves of new
plant breeders, biotechnologists, plant pathologists and
entomologists working in academic and commercial rice research
programs, and in the libraries of research establishments.
