BOOK
Fungal Genetics
Fungal Genetics is a comprehensive and authoritative textbook covering the genetic systems of fungi and their value as experimental models in biology. The book explores fundamental genetic mechanisms such as mutation, recombination, chromosome mapping, gene structure, and gene action. It also examines mating systems, sexual development, extranuclear inheritance, and the genetics of pathogenicity. By integrating classical genetics with molecular and biochemical approaches, the authors present fungi as model organisms that bridge microbial and higher-eukaryotic genetics. The fourth edition reflects advances in genetic analysis methods and remains a foundational reference in fungal genetics and mycology.
