Pictorial Atlas of Soil and Seed Fungi


Book Description

Fungi have come into demand as sources of biological control agents and of particular physiological active substances. Recent studies indicate that fungi can be the prime cause of sinusitis, asthma, and allergenic troubles. Some fungi can be useful however, and can be used to improve the overall quality of human life. With very few books available




Fungal Plant Pathogens, 2nd Edition


Book Description

This substantially updated edition now in full colour provides key techniques used when working with fungal and fungal-like plant pathogens. As a practical manual it also deals with disease recognition, detection and identification of fungi, plus methods to characterise and curate fungi and handle them under quarantine and quality assurance systems. Fungal Plant Pathogens: Applied Techniques, 2nd edition provides a valuable guide to investigating fungal plant diseases and interpreting laboratory findings for postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students, extension plant pathologists, consultants and advisers in agriculture, forestry and horticulture, and the food supply chain.




The Identification of Fungi


Book Description

This manual covers all groups of fungi and fungus-like organisms and includes over 500 diagrams and line drawings. Descriptions of major groups (phylogenetic and artificial), simplified keys to family, and an illustrated glossary enable placement of common fungi into the appropriate taxonomic category. Text and glossary are coordinated to introduce fundamentals of mycological terminology. Over 30 pages of references are provided for literature on identification of cultures and specimens, and references are also given for contemporary phylogenetic research on each major taxonomic group.

A Handbook of Rice Seedborne Fungi


Book Description

Seed health testing assures the safe movement of seed of different crops, for research or trade. It is premised on the hypothesis that many harmful organisms are carried by and moved with the seed which have the potential to harm crops. This text provides details of rice seed-borne fungi.




Descriptions of Medical Fungi


Book Description

Descriptions of Medical Fungi. Third Edition. Sarah Kidd, Catriona Halliday, Helen Alexiou and David Ellis. 2016. This updated third edition which includes new and revised descriptions. We have endeavoured to reconcile current morphological descriptions with more recent genetic data. More than 165 fungus species are described, including members of the Zygomycota, Hyphomycetes, Dimorphic Pathogens, Yeasts and Dermatophytes. 340 colour photographs. Antifungal Susceptibility Profiles. Microscopy Stains & Techniques. Specialised Culture Media. References. 250 pages.




Molecular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis


Book Description

Recent years have seen extensive research in the molecular underpinnings of symbiotic plant-fungal interactions. Molecular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis is a timely collection of work that will bridge the gap between molecular biology, fungal genomics, and ecology. A more profound understanding of mycorrhizal symbiosis will have broad-ranging impacts on the fields of plant biology, mycology, crop science, and ecology. Molecular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis will open with introductory chapters on the biology, structure and phylogeny of the major types of mycorrhizal symbioses. Chapters then review different molecular mechanisms driving the development and functioning of mycorrhizal systems and molecular analysis of mycorrhizal populations and communities. The book closes with chapters that provide an overall synthesis of field and provide perspectives for future research. Authoritative and timely, Molecular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis, will be an essential reference from those working in plant and fungal biology.




Seed Pathology


Book Description

V.1: Pathognes-diseases-hosts; Mechanisms of seed transmission; Principles of control; Seed health testing methods; Assessment of seed-borne inoculum. v. 2: Pathogens-diseases-hosts; Mechanisms of seed transmission; Principles of control; Seed health testing methods; Assessment of seed-borne inoculum.




Identification of Pathogenic Fungi


Book Description

Since the first edition of Identification of Pathogenic Fungi, there has been incredible progress in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of fungal diseases: new methods of diagnosis have been introduced, and new antifungal agents have been licensed for use. However, these developments have been offset by the emergence of resistance to several classes of drugs, and an increase in infections caused by fungi with innate resistance to one or more classes. Identification of Pathogenic Fungi, Second Edition, assists in the identification of over 100 of the most significant organisms of medical importance. Each chapter is arranged so that the descriptions for similar organisms may be found on adjacent pages. Differential diagnosis details are given for each organism on the basis of both colonial appearance and microscopic characteristics for the organisms described. In this fully updated second edition, a new chapter on the identification of fungi in histopathological sections and smears has been added, while colour illustrations of cultures and microscopic structures have been included, and high quality, four colour digital images are incorporated throughout.
