Mathematical Methods for Scientists and Engineers

In over a decade since the first edition of this book was published, molecular genetics, coupled with biochemical experimentation, has had a greater impact on research in fungal physiology than in any other period of time. The second edition of FUNGAL PHYSIOLOGY fully incorporates these new developments, skillfully integrating advances in molecular genetics with conventional organismal and biochemical approaches. Thoroughly updated from the acclaimed 1981 edition, FUNGAL PHYSIOLOGY, Second Edition provides upper-level students with a solid understanding of fungal physiology in terms of the special properties of fungi that make them a unique member of the plant kingdom. Treating the subject from organismal, cellular, biochemical, and molecular perspectives, it encompasses basic biochemical composition, growth analysis, primary and secondary metabolism, and life cycle processes. Fungicides are also covered. The book is the first reference to close the gap between introductory mycology texts and advanced treatises and review articles.
