21st Century Guidebook to Fungi (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

The mysterious world of fungi is once again unearthed in this expansive second edition. This textbook provides readers with an all-embracing view of the kingdom fungi, ranging in scope from ecology and evolution, diversity and taxonomy, cell biology and biochemistry, to genetics and genomics, biotechnology and bioinformatics. Adopting a unique systems biology approach - and using explanatory figures and colour illustrations - the authors emphasise the diverse interactions between fungi and other organisms. They outline how recent advances in molecular techniques and computational biology have fundamentally changed our understanding of fungal biology, and have updated chapters and references throughout the book in light of this. This is a fascinating and accessible guide, which will appeal to a broad readership - from aspiring mycologists at undergraduate and graduate level to those studying related disciplines. Online resources are hosted on a complementary website.

Rezensionen

'21st Century Guidebook to Fungi describes the fungal story with art and excellence. This guidebook is authored by three recognized fungal experts to whom I was privileged to meet. It has everything one wants to find in a book; it is easy to read, it has informative headings, well-organized tables and illustrative figures, and it contains all one wants to know about the matter. Definitely, this is an invaluable book that all those passionate about fungi must have!' Carmen Sánchez, Autonomous University of Tlaxcala, Mexico
