The Fusarium Laboratory Manual also includes some of the
evolutionary biology and population genetics thinking that has
begun to inform the understanding of agriculturally important
fungal pathogens. In addition to practical “how-to”
protocols it also provides guidance in formulating questions and
obtaining answers about this very important group of fungi. The
need for as many different techniques as possible to be used in the
identification and characterization process has never been greater.
These approaches have applications to fungi other than those in the
genus Fusarium. This volume presents an introduction to the
genus Fusarium, the toxins these fungi produce and the
diseases they can cause.
“The Fusarium Laboratory Manual is a milestone in
the study of the genus Fusarium and will help bridge the gap
between morphological and phylogenetic taxonomy. It will be used by
everybody dealing with Fusarium in the Third
Millenium.”
