The study of chytrids is old in india, it dates back to 1907, but unfortunately could not reach to heights attained by some advanced countries of the world, USA; Great Britain; France and Germany. However, in recent years, the group has again received considerable attention as evident by the enthusiasm at the First International Mycological Congress held in Exeter (UK) in 1971. This book is an attempt to fill that void and such a monograph on chytirds is first of its type from India. Probably this may be the first update compilations of work carried out by author in this group in the 20th century.
Zoosporic Fungi are often considered difficult to study, especially from a taxonomic point of view. In recent years, these have received considerable attention of the mycologists all over the world. This book brings together a wide spectrum of articles compiled by the editor mainly to attract the attention of Indian Workers. The book contains in all 12 chapters contributed by renowned workers in the area.
Straminipilous Fungi presents a critical comparative review of the morphology and ultrastructure, morphogenesis, cytology, molecular biology and evolution of the biflagellate fungi. These organisms encompass the fungi formerly called oomycetes; taxonomically related heterotrophs studied by mycologists; plasmodiophorids and other heterotrophs. Appropriate comparisons are made with chromophyte algae, marine heterotrophs and chytridiaceous fungi. Little-known taxa which have been referred to the various orders of flagellate fungi are also listed together with citations. A new hierarchical classification is presented which is supported by systematic accounts and synoptic keys. Dichotomous keys based on habitat and habit are given to all known species of lagenidiaceous fungi, labyrinthulids and plasmodiophorids. A unique `one stop' reference resource for plant pathologists is provided by the binominal lists, including host-related lists for the downy mildews. The book, including ca 4000 references, is a major text for post-graduate and research workers, particularly freshwater and marine biologists, soil ecologists and plant pathologists.
The Indian subcontinent has rich biological diversity in the world owing to its vast geographic area, varied topography and climate. It is classified into 10 biogeographic regions. Amongst the 34 hotspots of the world, two are located on Indian land extending into neighboring countries - the Western Ghats / Sri Lanka and the eastern Himalaya.
Indian mycologists have extensively studied various groups of fungi such as soil fungi, aquatic fungi, marine fungi, endophytic fungi, fungi associated with man and animals. Though several books on various aspects of fungi are published, this is the first account of the history and developments in mycology in India. It discusses at length various stages of development of mycology including both classical and biotechnological aspects. It begins with a historical account of Indian mycology, followed by a description of research on fossil fungi. Further chapters cover the latest updates on different taxonomic groups of fungi. A dedicated section describes the roles and applications of fungal endophytes. The book also includes research in other important areas such as mushrooms and wood rotting fungi. Different chapters are written by leading mycologists. This book is useful to students, teachers and researchers in botany, microbiology, biotechnology and life sciences, agriculture and industries using fungi to produce various valuable products.
This text brings together up-to-date information on both freshwater and marine fungi. A wide spectrum of topics are discussed, such as the morphology, physiology and ecology of the fungi, as well as the role of fungi in pesticide breakdown. For convenience the book is divided into two sections. The first section deals with the marine fungi and the second with fresh water fungi. This is a text suitable for undergraduates and graduates mycology, marine biology, ecology, physiology, oceanography, microbiology, biochemistry and zoology. It will also be useful to those interested in pathology, for river boards and all concerned with pollution.
