Blast is an important foliar disease that infects the majority of cereal crops like rice, finger millet, pearl millet, foxtail millet and wheat, and thus resulting in a huge economic impact.
Current research lays emphasis on exploring natural products for use in nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals to overcome various side effects of synthetic drugs.
In the past few decades, it has been realized through research that fungal siderophores epitomize the uptake of iron as well as other essential elements like zinc, magnesium, copper, nickel and arsenic.
This pioneering book focuses on Neotropical endophytic fungi, providing a comprehensive overview of their diversity, ecology, and biotechnological applications in medicine, agriculture, and industry.
This fully revised third edition includes up-to-date topics and developments in the field, which has made tremendous strides since the publication of the second edition in 2004.
Due to the huge quantity and diverse nature of their metabolic pathways, fungi have great potential to be used for the production of different biofuels such as bioethanol, biobutanol, and biodiesel.
This book focuses on signaling molecules in plant defense, outlining some of the most important cellular and chemical plant defense strategies during periods of stress and growth.
Over the last decade considerable progress has been made in white biotechnology research and further major scientific and technological breakthroughs are expected in the future.
This new book shows the work done by researchers dedicated to the study of different mycorrhizas types, the fungal species associated and their distribution influenced by geographical and environmental factors among the different South American biogeographic regions.
White biotechnology, or industrial biotechnology as it is also known, refers to the use of living cells and/or their enzymes to create industrial products that are more easily degradable, require less energy, create less waste during production and sometimes perform better than products created using traditional chemical processes.
This volume provides a detailed look at various biochemical and developmental aspects of fungal cell biology, and offers extensive information on model organisms of filamentous fungi, such as Aspergillus, and yeasts, such as Saccharomyces, while also highlighting molecular differences between ascomycetes and basidiomycetes.
Plant endophytes are a potential source for the production of bioactive compounds that can fight against devastating diseases in both plants and humans.
Mushrooms are fleshy fungi with a high prospective for the production of secondary metabolites including extracellular enzymes with high agricultural and biotechnological significance.
Les motivations sont nombreuses pour partir à la découverte des champignons de nos forêts: s'immerger dans la nature, cueillir son repas du soir, s'adonner à la photo, apprendre une nouvelle technique de culture ou simplement s'émouvoir devant une chanterelle…
Ce guide vous propose de parcourir les régions du Québec à la rencontre des entreprises et des communautés proposant des activités de mycotourisme: festivals, sorties guidées, visites de champignonnières, découvertes gourmandes, sentiers d'interprétation, il y en a pour tous les goûts!
Fungi occupy an important place in the natural world, as non-photosynthetic organisms, they obtain their nutrients from the degradation of organic material.
Pilze züchten: Wie Sie die kleinen Nährstoffwunder ganz einfach selbst in Haus & Garten anbauen könnenFür die einen sind sie nur leckere Speisezutaten, für die anderen wahre Wunder der Natur: Pilze, ebenso geheimnisvolle wie beeindruckende Kreaturen, die den Tieren näher sind als den Pflanzen und den Menschen mit einem einzigartigen Nährstoffmix versorgen.
