Fungi: Experimental Methods In Biology, Second Edition: Mycology
Autor Ramesh Maheshwarien Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 noi 2016
Fungi: Experimental Methods in Biology, Second Edition presents the latest information on fungal biology generated through advances in genetics, molecular biology, and biochemistry. It gives an account of real experiments that have been carried out on the diverse lifestyles of these organisms. Following in the footsteps of its highly-praised predecessor, this book continues to be a comprehensive review of the state of our knowledge about how fungi function.
Examining both unicellular and multicellular fungi, this accessible book covers:
- Special features of fungi
- Interaction of fungi with other organisms
- Use of fungi as sources of chemicals for human health and welfare
- Model fungi in research
- Gene manipulation
- Adaptations
- Natural populations
What’s New in This Edition:
- New chapters on spores’ dormancy, germination, and uses; fungi as scavengers; and fungi as chemical factories
- All chapters substantially revised, updated, and rewritten, in particular The Hyphal Mode of Life, Fungi as Symbiotic Partners, and Fungi as Plant Pathogens
- New material on the use of yeast for functional analysis of genomes; the use of Neurospora in cytogenetics and genes controlling conidiation; and the identification of the clock gene
- A new glossary to reinforce important concepts

Notă biografică
Ramesh Maheshwari received his PhD degree from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He did his postdoctoral work at the University of Michigan–Ann Arbor and at Stanford University, California. He has held academic appointment as a professor of biochemistry at the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore. He is the author of Fungi: Experimental Methods in Biology and over 100 scientific papers on fungal and plant physiology. The thrust of his research over a span of 35 years was on the physiology and enzymes of thermophilic fungi and the genetics and ecology of Neurospora.
Recenzii
"… Following in the footsteps of its highly-praised predecessor, this book continues to be a comprehensive review of the state of our knowledge about how fungi function."
—Northeastern Naturalist, December 2012
Praise for the First Edition:
"…an important volume. …a comprehensive review of the state of our knowledge about how fungi function as individuals, populations, and members of the global economy of nature. Maheshwari has done an exemplary job. …the integration of information from such a broad area and the general clarity of presentation found in this volume deserve wide readership among mycologists, plant pathologists, geneticists, and molecular biologists."
—David S. Yohalem, East Malling Research, Kent, UK
"The book is simply written and easy to digest, which is aided by the consistent editorial style throughout the book."
—N. Louise Glass, Mycopathologia, 2006
"The most important feature of the book is its comprehensive nature…. This book, in describing the modernization of mycology that has come from advances in biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, will serve as an excellent introduction and reference for students and investigators having a background in these subjects and a particular interest in the fungi…. As such, the book sets an agenda for fungal research in the 21st century."
—Rowland H. Davis, University of California, Irvine
"It should prove useful both for undergraduate students and postgraduate researchers."
—David J. Adams, Microbiology Today

Descriere
Fungi are now at the forefront of research on mechanisms in gene silencing, biological rhythm, mating processes, and speciation, among other areas. Following in the footsteps of its highly praised predecessor, this book continues to be a comprehensive review of the state of our knowledge about how fungi function. It presents the latest information on fungal biology generated through the application of genetics, molecular biology, and biochemistry. This accessible book covers such topics as scavenging and nutrient cycling, DNA-based identification, and circadian rhythms in fungi. Thoroughly revised and updated, the second edition includes new chapters and a glossary.
