Editorial Reviews

Contributors from North America, Europe, and Brazil relate their experiences with diseases of unknown cause that affect food and fiber crops and trees. Among the topics are the search for viroids and double-stranded RNA in the fatal yellowing of oil palms, unknown etiological agents apparently carried by mites, non-infectious diseases, and breeding coconuts to resist unknown pathogens. Includes many color plates. Of interest to plant and forest pathologists, entomologists, and horticulturalists. Acidic paper. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
