More Gene Manipulations in Fungi

The original work, published in 1985, appeared at the first interface between classical fungal genetics and modern genetic engineering, reflecting the excitement of a young and promising discipline. Since then, molecular mycology has come of age. The entirely new More Gene Manipulations in Fungi reviews state-of-the-art research with an intent to inform the researcher about what can be achieved by studying fungal systems with the tools of molecular biology. This book is a current reference providing overviews as well as practical information.- Updates Bennett and Lasure''s classic Gene Manipulations in Fungi published in 1985- Describes fungi for the study of fundamental problems in biology and biochemistry- Explains both classical and molecular genetics for the study of fungi- Contains special appendixes on genetic analysis, growth media, and coding conventions- Demonstrates the progress of molecular mycology since the seminal paper published by Beadle and Tatum in 1941
