Overview

This collection of chapters provides an update on recent progress for many of the important plant pathogenic fungi that either cause significant economic problems or that serve as useful experimental organisms for gaining general insights. The inclusion of chapters on other fungi should allow readers to make comparisons and draw parallels between a variety of pathogens.

Reviews

'This book provides a broad spectrum of information. It is of special interest and can indeed be recommended for a readership from senior undergraduates to senior investigators working on fungal plant pathology.' Journal of Plant Physiology, 158:7 (2000) '...the volume can be recommended to the scientific community in plant pathology and especially to those interested in molecular aspects of host-pathogen interactions' Journal of Phytopathology, 149:7/8 (2001)
