Mycology and Microbiology(A Text Book For UG & PG Student)

C. Manoharachary, K.V.B.R. Tilak, K.V. Mallaiah & I.K. Kunwar

Fungi and microbes have predominant influence in our lives. They are directly or indirectly

involved in generating the food we eat and drink, besides providing life saving pharmaceutical

products, including the sources of enzymes. They play a vital role in recycling of organic matter

and several ecological processes. Both fungi and microbes have contributed several billion

dollars worth of technological products. For instance: yeast is used in brewing and bakery,

Lactobacillus ferments milk to yoghurt and a number of edible mushrooms are rich in nutrients

besides possessing many medicinal properties. Bacteria and fungi serve as key organisms in

understanding life processes, genetic engineering and as experimental organisms. Therefore, it

is necessary to study the biology and biotechnology of these organisms. It is a humble attempt of

the authors to make the readers understand the biology and biotechnology of fungi and microbes

in a simpler way and also to communicate the recent developments.

Taxonomy of Mycotoxigenic FungiS. Girisham, V. Koteswara Rao & S.M. Reddy

Mycotoxins, toxic metabolites of molds elaborated during their colonization of foods and feeds,

pose a threat to human and animal life. Molds are the diverse group of fungi, which grow in

compatatively dry and warm environments, produce copious amount of spores and promote the

elaboration of these mycotoxins. Mycotoxigenic fungi, which are unique their sporulating

apparatus and exhibit wide variation in their morphology, poses a challenge in their

identification. There are numerous examples of their misidentification leading to wrong

conclusions. Precise information on taxonomy of these fungi is lacking. Therefore, this book

fulfills the need of providing comprehensive information and keys helpful for the accurate

identification of these moulds. The book also provides comprehensive account of morphology,

mycotoxins produced and factors leading to the elaboration of mycotoxins. Information on their

molecular detection, anamorphic and teleomorphic relationships is also included.

Physiological Efficiency for Crop Improvement

Plant Physiology is in essence the foundation of plant molecular biology. This volume would be

tremendously a productive reference book for acquiring advanced knowledge by faculties, post-

graduate and Ph.D. scholars in response to the innovative courses in Plant Physiology & Plant

Molecular Biology, Plant Biotechnology, Environmental Sciences, Plant Pathology,

Microbiology, Forestry, Soil Science, Agronomy, Horticulture, and Botany.

A. Hemantaranjan

Physiological Genetics of Agricultural Crops

For many decades plant breeding has made use of morphological analyses in producing new

varieties. This to no small measure has been greatly advanced by the developments of genetics

in this century. One of the features missing in morphological analyses is that the development of

the components of the yield are not revealed. Physiological genetics provide such valuable other

methods. This book which is well documented by tables and figures is an attempt to summarize

for the first time this branch of genetical science. It will be a valuable guide to plant growers,

biologists and agronomists for a better understanding of plant development and for increasing

productivity.

Physiology of Crop Plants

This second edition of a text-book focused on crop physiology, reflects the many changes and

expanded efforts have been made to facilitate the agronomist and the crop physiologist to

integrate information, synthesize new levels of knowledge, and develop systems for problem

solving. The emphasis is on two major purposes: to develop an understanding of the important

principles underlying the practices used in the culture of crop plants and to develop the ability to

apply these principles in production strategies.
