The clavicipitaleans have a long, bittersweet relationship with
humans. Clavicipitaleans such as Claviceps and Epichloe were the
causes of several human and animal toxicoses throughout recorded
history. Claviceps and Cordyceps were the sources of a treasure
chest of medicines that have benefited millions of people.
Clavicipitaleans have found applications in biocontrol of insects,
nematodes, and fungi. As much as we know about them, there is much
more to learn about their evolutionary development on a genomic and
biochemical level. Clavicipitalean Fungi: Evolutionary Biology,
Chemistry, Biocontrol, and Cultural Impacts provides a foundation
for developing knowledge of the entire family. This reference
analyzes the ecology, evolution, genetics, physiology, and taxonomy
of this diverse group of fungi for identification of common
biological, biochemical, and genetic features and discovery of
potential medical and agricultural applications. It traces and
reconstructs the evolution of various host-endoparasite systems and
studies recent taxonomic research and DNA sequence analyses on
plant-infecting clavicipitaleans. Providing a holistic view of the
entire clavicipitalean family, the book compares morphologic,
geographic, and host variations among various clavicipitalean
populations and examines key discoveries and compounds obtained in
clavicipitalean studies.
