Book excerpt: "Dedicated to those "passionate about fungi," this volume features species of important plant pathogens in tropical and subtropical regions. Crous (plant pathology, U. of Stellenbosch), president of the Southern African Society for Plant Pathology, introduces Cylindrocladium terminology, media and isolation techniques, pathogenicity, diseases, disease control, morphological methods and features, cultures, techniques for species characterization, phylogenetic analyses, and keys to various genera/species. The second section describes 54 species with cultural characteristics, disease symptoms, substrate, world distribution, cultures, and references."--pub. desc.
