Biology of the Fungal Cell [electronic resource] /
Howard, Richard J.editor.
Gow, Neil A.R.editor.
What makes the fungal cell unique among eukaryotes and what features are shared? This volume addresses some of the most prominent and fascinating facets of questions as they pertain to the growth and development of both yeast and hyphal forms of fungi, beginning with subcellular components ? then cell organization, polarity, growth, differentiation and beyond ? to the cell biology of spores, biomechanics of invasive growth, plant pathogenesis, mycorrhizal symbiosis and colonial networks. Throughout, structural, molecular and ecological aspects are integrated to form a contemporary look at the
