Daren W. Brown and Robert H. Proctor present a new book on
Fusarium: Genomics, Molecular and Cellular Biology In this book, an international group of researchers critically reviews the most important current research on the genomics and molecular and cellular biology of
Fusarium. The opening chapter provides a fascinating introduction to the organism. Subsequent chapters deal with: sex and fruiting; genome structural dynamics; molecular genetics and genomic approaches to study pathogenesis in wheat; proteomic analysis of the fungus-host interaction; Repeat-induced point mutation, DNA methylation and heterochromatin in
Fusarium graminearum (
Gibberella zeae); nitrogen regulation network and its impact on secondary metabolism and pathogenicity; diversity of polyketide synthases; and plant responses to
Fusarium metabolites. This volume is essential for everyone working with
Fusarium and other filamentous fungi. A recommended book for all biology, agriculture and medical libraries
