Plants interact with a wide variety of organisms in their naturalgrowing environments. Key amongst these relationships is theinterplay between plants and diverse fungal species that impactplants in complex symbiotic, parasitic and pathogenic ways.Biocomplexity of Plant-Fungal Interactions explores a broadspectrum of research looking at both positive and negativeinteractions of these relationships on plants and their ecosystems.
Biocomplexity of Plant-Fungal Interactions takes a moreholistic view of the plant-fungal interactions than mosttraditional volumes on the topic. Focusing on the truly complexbiological interplay among plants and fungi, as well as otherorganisms--mammals, insects, bacteria, viruses, this bookprovides a unique perspective on this fundamentally importantrelationship. Chapters are written from molecular, evolutionary andecological perspectives to provide readers with a fullunderstanding of the diverse implications of plant-fungalinteractions.
Written by a global team of experts from varied scientificbackgrounds, Biocomplexity of Plant-Fungal Interactions willbe an essential title for readers looking for a betterunderstanding of the diverse array of interactions between plantsand fungi in natural ecosystems.
