The Kingdom fungi encompass a massive diversity of taxa with
wide-ranging ecologies, life cycles, and morphologies ranging from
unicellular aquatic chytrids to large mushrooms. Before molecular
methods came in existence, taxonomists considered this Kingdom to
be a member of the plant kingdom due to certain life styles like
immobility and growth habitats. Molecular markers (also known as
DNA markers), facilitated a better alternative method over
traditional morphological methods, employed for the identification,
characterization, and to understand the evolution of fungi. The
morphological methods used for identification are mainly dependent
on spore color or microscopic features whereas molecular markers
are based on DNA polymorphism in the genomic organization.
Phylogenetic studies reported in last decade, based on molecular
markers, have reshaped the classification system of Kingdom fungi,
which divided into one subkingdom, seven phyla, and ten subphyla.
Recent advances in molecular mycology have opened the way for
researchers to identify and characterize novel fungal species from
unique environments. Mycology is concerned with the systematic
study of fungi, including their genetic and biochemical properties,
their use to humans as a source of medicine and food, as well as
their dangers, such as poisoning and infections. In the 21st
century with the development of DNA sequencing technologies and
phylogenetic analysis based on molecular markers, new insights into
fungal taxonomy were provided. This book contains a thorough
discussion of molecular characterization and detection of different
groups of fungi by using PCR-based markers and provides a
comprehensive view of the applications and uses of different
molecular markers in molecular mycology. It also addresses the
recent molecular markers employed to solve the problems of
identification and discusses current approaches used in molecular
characterization and detection of fungi.
