A Century of Mycology

J. M. Whipps

Based on a 1988 British Mycological Society symposium, this book reviews how fungi can improve plant growth.

Biotechnology of Fungi for Improving Plant Growth

Despite an upsurge in national and international debate on environmental issues since the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, fungi, vital to the functioning of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, are rarely mentioned. This volume helps redress this imbalance by considering fungi in the context of the impact of humankind's activity on their habitats. The presentation of experimental evidence is a major feature of the volume. Contributions on the effects of global warming, UV-B radiation, atmospheric and terrestrial pollutants, deforestation in the tropics, loss of biodiversity, genetic engineering and chaos theory ensure a topical and balanced coverage, with both ecological and physiological viewpoints being represented. This timely review will be of interest to all mycologists and those ecologists concerned with environmental change.

Peberdy

J. F. Peberdy

The interactions of fungi with mankind are both beneficial and harmful and are deeply rooted in the history of human society and agriculture. This book highlights the ways in which fungal recombinant DNA technology is being used in species of economic importance.
