The Ecological Genomics of Fungi by Francis Martin - 9781119946106

The Ecological Genomics of FungiAuthor(s): Francis Martin\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: John Wiley and Sons Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Wiley-Blackwell\nISBN-13: 9781119946106, 978-1119946106\nSynopsis\nThis unique book covers a broad diversity of fungal systems and provides unique insight into the functions of those fungi in various ecosystems from soil, to plant, to human. Bringing together fungal genomic information on a variety of lifestyles and traits, the book covers saprotrophism, pathogenesis (including biotrophs, hemibiotrophs, necrotrophs) and symbiosis. Advances in high-throughput sequencing now offer unprecedented opportunities for identification of novel key molecular mechanisms controlling plant-microbe interactions, evolution of fungi and developmentally- and ecologically-relevant traits, this book explores how these massive streams of fungal sequences can be exploited to gain a deeper understanding of the evolution of fungi and their ecological role.\nAlthough trem.
