A comprehensive edited volume that reviews recent advances in genetics, genomics, and disease control of rice blast disease, one of the most destructive fungal diseases affecting rice worldwide. Drawing largely on research presented at the 4th International Rice Blast Conference (2007), the book synthesises current knowledge on fungal pathogenicity, host defence mechanisms, genetic resistance, and molecular breeding strategies. It integrates pathogen genetics and genomics with plant defence responses, offering tools and insights for plant pathologists, breeders, and researchers focused on developing durable resistance and improving sustainable rice production systems.
