Beschreibung
For the first time in over 20 years, a comprehensive collection ofphotographs and descriptions of species in the fungal genusFusarium is available. This laboratory manual provides anoverview of the biology of Fusarium and the techniquesinvolved in the isolation, identification and characterization ofindividual species and the populations in which they occur. It isthe first time that genetic, morphological and molecular approacheshave been incorporated into a volume devoted to Fusariumidentification. The authors include descriptions of species, bothnew and old, and provide protocols for genetic, morphological andmolecular identification techniques.
The Fusarium Laboratory Manual also includes some of theevolutionary biology and population genetics thinking that hasbegun to inform the understanding of agriculturally importantfungal pathogens. In addition to practical "how-to"protocols it also provides guidance in formulating questions andobtaining answers about this very important group of fungi. Theneed for as many different techniques as possible to be used in theidentification and characterization process has never been greater.These approaches have applications to fungi other than those in thegenus Fusarium. This volume presents an introduction to thegenus Fusarium, the toxins these fungi produce and thediseases they can cause.
"The Fusarium Laboratory Manual is a milestone inthe study of the genus Fusarium and will help bridge the gapbetween morphological and phylogenetic taxonomy. It will be used byeverybody dealing with Fusarium in the ThirdMillenium."
