Description
The mysterious world of fungi is once again unearthed in this expansive second edition- 21st Century Guide to Fungi. This textbook provides readers with an all-embracing view of the kingdom of Fungi, ranging in scope from ecology and evolution, diversity and taxonomy, cell biology and biochemistry, genetics and genomics, biotechnology, and bioinformatics. Adopting a unique systems biology approach – and using explanatory figures and color illustrations – the authors emphasize the diverse interactions between fungi and other organisms.
They outline how recent advances in molecular techniques and computational biology have fundamentally changed our understanding of fungal biology. They have updated chapters and references throughout the book in light of this. This is a fascinating and accessible guide that will appeal to a broad readership – from aspiring mycologists at the undergraduate and graduate levels to those studying related disciplines. Online resources are hosted on a complementary website.
