I have published 12 books so far and my book publishers include CRC Press, Boca Raton, Florida, U.S.A (3 books), Marcel Dekker, New York (1), The Haworth Press, New York (3 books) and Taylor-Francis —CRC Press, USA. My books have received very enthusiastic reviews and second editions, in addition the regional editions and e-Book format of my books have also appeared. My latest book published by CRC Press as second edition is recommended by American Phytopathological Society (APS) and included in the APS Press Store. I have won several national awards and I am a Fellow of National Academy of Agricultural Sciences and in several other scientific societies. I have served as President of Indian Society of Plant Pathologists. I have served in editorial boards of several journals and also served as Visiting Scientist in USA, Philippines and Denmark. ZB: selection of books published: * Handbook of Molecular Technologies in Crop Disease Management (The Haworth Press, 2007) * Concise Encyclopedia of Plant Pathology (The Haworth Press, 2004) * Bacterial Disease Resistance in Plants, Molecular Biology and Biotechnological Applications (The Haworth Press, 2002) * Fungal Pathogenesis in Plants and Crops: Molecular Biology and Host Defence Mechanisms, 1st & 2nd ed.
