| Handbook of Fungal Biotechnology, 2nd Edition, Revised and Expanded (Mycology, 20)
by DIlip K. Arora (Editor)
The last decade has seen fungal biotechnology flourish from the practical returns of advanced techniques like genetic recombination and robotics. Reenvisioned to account for developments in fungal ecology, physiology, and biochemical processes—and the mounting list of industrial and semi-industrial applications—the Handbook of Fungal Biotechnology, Second Edition reigns as the top source on current molecular, biochemical, and medical technologies and commercial usages for fungi.

| Fungi: Multifaceted Microbes
by B.N. Ganguli (Editor), S.K. Deshmukh (Editor)
Ubiquitous in nature, fungi have, for centuries, provided us with a variety of useful products from cheese to alcoholic beverages, organic acids, pigments, enzymes, food and lately antibiotics and small molecular weight compounds with a variety of pharmacological applications. Highlighting the crucial role fungi play in many ecological processes, Fungi: Multifaceted Microbes explores a wide range of topics in fungal biochemistry and biotechnology.

| Histopathology of Seed-Borne Infections
by Dalbir Singh (Author), S. B. Mathur (Author)
Histopathology of Seed-Borne Infections is the first book to provide comprehensive coverage of seed infection and disease. It includes an up-to-date account on the development and structure of seed, pointing out the structural variations in seeds of the plant families to which most crop plants belong. The text presents techniques and advice for histopathological studies, as well as a discussion on physiogenic seed disorders and the penetration of ovule/seed by fungi.

Product Description
Dramatic progress in molecular biology and genetic engineering has recently produced an unparalleled wealth of information on the mechanisms of plant and pathogen interactions at the cellular and molecular levels. Completely revised and expanded, Fungal Pathogenesis in Plants and Crops: Molecular Biology and Host Defense Mechanisms, Second Edition offers fresh insight into the interplay of signaling systems in plant and pathogen interactions. The book delineates the battle between plant and fungal pathogen and the complex signaling systems involved.See what's new in the Second Edition:Chapter on the role of disease resistance genes in signal perception and emissionChapter on cell death signaling in disease susceptibility and resistanceRevised material on phytoalexins, toxins, and signal perception and transduction in fungal pathogenesis17 additional families of pathogenesis-related proteins and antifungal proteinsThe book describes the weapons used by fungal pathogens to evade or suppress the host defense mechanisms. It covers each fungal infection process from initial contact and penetration to the subsequent invasion and symptom development. The author explains complex signaling systems in the plant-pathogen interface with flow charts and provides drawings elucidating the biosynthetic pathway of secondary metabolites. He includes figures that highlight cutting-edge breakthroughs in molecular science and tables documenting important findings in the field of molecular plant pathology. These features and more make this book not only the most up to date resource in the field, but also the most important. |
