Disease Analysis Through Genetics and Biotechnology : Interdisciplinary Bridges to Improved Sorghum and Millet Crops

Focusing on the most important sorghum and millet diseases, this book is the result of an international conference on diseases of sorghum and millet from different growing regions of the world.

New research approaches to improve disease management strategies are included.

This text serves as a model for other programmes interested in applying modern science to traditional agriculture.

It demonstrates how to form partnerships between basic researchers in sophisticated laboratories and applied scientists working in the field in developing countries.

Several chapters on administrative aspects of facilitating interdisciplinary approaches to these issues are also included.
