Edited by Brett A. Summerell, John F. Leslie, David Backhouse, Wayne L. Bryden, and Lester W. Burgess SCROLL DOWN TO ORDER THIS TITLE. Fusarium: Paul E. Nelson Memorial Symposium is a book on this significant fungal genus, one of the most economically important groups of fungi causing diseases on a wide variety of plants. This book is a collection of papers written by world authorities in Fusarium research as presented at a memorial symposium held in commemoration of the life of Professor Paul E. Nelson. Throughout his noteworthy career, many participants collaborated with Professor Nelson on a wide range of issues. This volume covers widespread research in many Fusarium subject areas for those interested in Fusarium at an introductory level or those who have studied Fusarium extensively. There has been no similar book on this subject published in many years, and since then many aspects of the biology of this fungus have changed considerably. For users of the “green book”, this book is the perfect complement. During a period when there is a lot of confusion about the taxonomy, biology, and genetics of the fungus, the publication of Fusarium: Paul E. Nelson Memorial Symposium is a useful resource for mycologists, plant scientists, ecologists, microbiologists, mycotoxicologists, fungal geneticists, educators, students, and others interested in Fusarium. Coverage includes: - Comprehensive information on many important diseases caused by Fusarium - The taxonomy of the genus Fusarium - The genetics, ecology, chemistry, and production of the various mycotoxins Fusarium produces - The biology of Fusarium and how it relates to agricultural production in all parts of the world - Guide to identification of Gibberella sp. to allow plant scientists to accurately diagnose the disease it causes - Literature reviews of several important agricultural diseases Table of Contents Taxonomy; Perithecial species of Fusarium; Fusarium and anamorph generic concepts; Developments in the taxonomy of Fusarium species based on secondary metabolites; Genetics; Biochemistry and genetics of Fusarium toxins; Evolution of host specificity in Fusarium oxysporum; Vegetative compatibility group diversity in Fusarium; The genetics of Nectria haematococca mating population VI with special emphasis on its conditionally dispensible (CD) chromosomes: A source of habitat specific genes; Population genetics level problems in the Gibberella fujikuroi species complex; Ecology; Biogeography of Fusarium; Autecology of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. raphani in soil; Effect of temperature on Fusarium foot rot of wheat; Evolution of Fusarium venenatum A3/5 in continuous flow (chemostat) culture; Pathology; Molecular assays as aids in the detection, diagnosis and quantification of Fusarium species in plants; Transfer cell formation reveals a biotrophic phase in bulb rot of lilies infected by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lilii; Fusarium wilt of banana: A diverse clonal pathogen of a domesticated clonal host; Diseases of pines caused by the pitch canker fungus; Malformation: A unique and important disease of mango, Mangifera indica L.; Fusarium diseases of asparagus; Fusarium wilt of Phoenix canariensis caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.
