Fungi are now at the forefront of research on mechanisms in gene
silencing, biological rhythm, mating processes, biogenesis of
intracellular organelles, adaptations to hostile habitats,
structure of natural populations, and speciation. Because of their
small genomes, fungi are being used in "systems biology" to
understand the connections between genes, proteins, and metabolic
and signaling pathways. The ease with which yeasts and fungi can be
cultivated in simple nutritive media has also made these eukaryotic
organisms the choice material for basic and applied research.
Fungi: Experimental Methods in Biology, Second Edition presents the
latest information on fungal biology generated through advances in
genetics, molecular biology, and biochemistry. It gives an account
of real experiments that have been carried out on the diverse
lifestyles of these organisms. Following in the footsteps of its
highly-praised predecessor, this book continues to be a
comprehensive review of the state of our knowledge about how fungi
function. Examining both unicellular and multicellular fungi, this
accessible book covers: Special features of fungi Interaction of
fungi with other organisms Use of fungi as sources of chemicals for
human health and welfare Model fungi in research Gene manipulation
Adaptations Natural populations Throughout, the book draws
attention to unsolved questions and to the opportunities offered by
the diversity of fungi. Written by a prominent mycologist, it
provides an excellent introduction and reference for beginning
researchers as well as for experienced professionals. What's New in
This Edition: New chapters on spores' dormancy, germination, and
uses; fungi as scavengers; and fungi as chemical factories All
chapters substantially revised, updated, and rewritten, in
particular The Hyphal Mode of Life, Fungi as Symbiotic Partners,
and Fungi as Plant Pathogens New material on the use of yeast for
functional analysis of genomes; the use of Neurospora in
cytogenetics and genes controlling conidiation; and the
identification of the clock gene A new glossary to reinforce
important concepts
