This laboratory manual provides an overview of the biology of \u003ci\u003eFusarium\u003c\/i\u003e and the techniques involved in the isolation, identification and characterization of individual species and the populations in which they occur. It is the first time that genetic, morphological and molecular approaches have been incorporated into a volume devoted to \u003ci\u003eFusarium\u003c\/i\u003e identification. The authors include descriptions of species, both new and old, and provide protocols for genetic, morphological and molecular identification techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Fusarium \u003ci\u003eLaboratory Manual\u003c\/i\u003e also includes some of the evolutionary biology and population genetics thinking that has begun to inform the understanding of agriculturally important fungal pathogens. In addition to practical “how-to” protocols it also provides guidance in formulating questions and obtaining answers about this very important group of fungi. The need for as many different techniques as possible to be used in the identification and characterization process has never been greater. These approaches have applications to fungi other than those in the genus \u003ci\u003eFusarium\u003c\/i\u003e. This volume presents an introduction to the genus \u003ci\u003eFusarium\u003c\/i\u003e, the toxins these fungi produce and the diseases they can cause.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"The \u003ci\u003eFusarium\u003c\/i\u003e Laboratory Manual is a milestone in the study of the genus \u003ci\u003eFusarium\u003c\/i\u003e and will help bridge the gap between morphological and phylogenetic taxonomy.
