Description

This book will serve as the definitive reference work on laboratory methods and the basic physiology, biochemistry, development, genetics, and molecular biology of Neurospora, a standard model filamentous fungus. Among the fungi, Neurospora is second only to yeast as a basic model organism, and there has been no standard guide to the organism until now. There is an annual Neurospora meeting that attracts about 600 workers annually, and the broader constituency for the book includes myocologists and the biotechnology community and a substantial number of geneticists, molecular, cell and developmental biologists interested in the questions for which Neourospora has been an important model system.
