Fusarium : Paul E. Nelson memorial symposium

This volume is a new book on this significant fungal genus, one of the most economically important groups of fungi causing diseases on a wide variety of plants. It 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 new book will be a perfect complement. During a period when there is a lot of confusion about the taxonomy, biology, and genetics of the fungus, this publication is a useful resource for mycologists, plant scientists, ecologists, microbiologists, mycotoxicologists, fungal geneticists, educators, students, and others interested in Fusarium.
