Biochemical and Molecular Studies of Collar Rot Disease in Groundnut

Groundnut (Arachis hypogeae L.) is an annual legume and major oilseed crop in India. Very limited work has been done on biochemical and molecular aspects of resistance in Groundnut against collar rot disease (Aspergillus niger) at different disease development stages. Data generated from the experiment on pathogen related (PR) protein and molecular marker will provide the information to develop resistance cultivar and manage the collar rot disease by better way. Therefore, this book will be useful to researcher to understand the basic biochemical and molecular mechanism of host and pathogen interaction and induced resistance by Pseudomonas fluorescens.
