In recent years, yeast genetics has become an extremely useful area of research, not only because these microbes are of industrial, biotechnological, and medical importance, but also because they are listed as modelsfor the behaviour of animal cells. The sixth and final volume o…
Many substrates other than land plants have their own characteristic fungi, which are often difficult to identify through usual taxonomic channels. They are much more easily tracked down when keyed out and described in small, specialized habit groups.
The purpose of this book is to serve as a user's guide to the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi and plants ("Code"), specifically the Melbourne Code. The title was formally changed at the XVIII International Botanical Congress in Melbourne in 2011, whereas prev…
Evolution of Virulence in Eukaryotic Microbes offers a unique review of eukaryotic virulence in fungi, oomycetes, and protozoan parasites and how they affect both animals and plants. This book combines a discussion of human and plant pathogens and it takes a fresh look at the s…
Written by 49 experts from 16 European countries, this enlarged and updated second edition of Funga Nordica now comprises descriptions and keys to 3054 species of basidiomycetes from northern Europe, distributed in 278 genera. The new edition is complemented with the gastromycet…
Fungi are a unique group of organisms, different from all others in their behaviour and cellular organisation. This edition incorporates the latest thinking in fungal taxonomy as influenced by evidence from new molecular techniques.
Marine fungi play a major role in marine and mangrove ecosystems. Understanding how higher fungi with their spectrum of cellulolytic and ligninolytic enzymes degrade wood tissue, is essential to marine ecology. This book provides an overview of marine fungi including morphology …
This introductory text takes a multidisciplinary approach to studying the relationship between plants and people. The authors strive to stimulate interest in plant science and encourage students to further their studies in botany. Also, by exposing students to society's histor…
Brian Spooner and Peter Roberts provide a comprehensive account of the natural history of fungi, from their lifestyle, habitats and ecology to their uses for humans.
