The book gives an overview of the state-of-the-art in major fields of research in modern fungal genetics. Focus has been placed on the two most fascinating aspects of this rapidly expanding field: the molecular biology of pathogenetic fungi and gene expression in fungal systems. Regarding the first aspect, molecular techniques available for these fungi have yielded new and intriguing approaches to studying host/pathogen interactions. One example of worldwide relevance is the potential implementation of fungi as insecticides. The latter aspect includes the fundamental aspects of regulation and differentiation as well as the applied aspects of using these fungi in biotechnological processes. One example of industrial relevance is the production of antibiotics using fungi. Scientists and advanced students in the areas of fungal genetics, phytopathology and biotechnology should find this book to be an indispensable summary of recent advances and an invaluable stimulus for their research.
