商品描述

Sequence analyses of numerous fungal genomes over the past two decades have provided us with extensive insights into the phylogenetic relationships of fungi and the distribution of genes and their inferred functions, across the fungal kingdom. It is now possible to answer questions about the origin of the fungal kingdom and fungal evolution with an analytical precision that was not possible before.

This fully revised and updated 2nd edition of The Mycota, Vol. 14, addresses major aspects of fungal evolution. The book is divided into four sections covering the following main topics:

- Evolutionary roots of fungi
- Evolution of pathogenic strategies
- Evolution of mutualistic interactions
- Evolution of metabolism and development in fungi

Fungi are among the oldest eukaryotic groups in the living world. The aim of this book is to better understand the history and importance of fungi, as well as the characteristics that distinguish them from their sister group, the metazoans, and other fungus-like groups such as the slime molds and oomycetes. Many fungal species are important pathogens of animals and plants and have distinct but parallel pathogenicity strategies. Mutualistic interactions of fungi with other organisms are crucial for their survival in different ecological niches and have a great influence on their evolution and the design of their genomes. Metabolism is one of the most important features of life, and the diversity of metabolic processes is best understood by considering evolution. Studies of fungal metabolism have traditionally focused on metabolites of particular interest, namely mycotoxins, pathogenicity factors, antibiotics, and other compounds with interspecific activity.

This volume will be of great interest to mycologists, evolutionary biologists, and fungal geneticists, as well as to lecturers and students of microbiology and mycology.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

過去二十年來，對眾多真菌基因組的序列分析為我們提供了有關真菌的系統發育關係以及基因分佈和推測功能的廣泛見解。現在，我們能以以前無法達到的分析精確度回答有關真菌王國起源和真菌演化的問題。

《The Mycota》第14卷的這一全面修訂和更新的第二版，探討了真菌演化的主要方面。該書分為四個部分，涵蓋以下主要主題：

- 真菌的演化根源
- 致病策略的演化
- 互利互動的演化
- 真菌的代謝與發展的演化

真菌是現存生物中最古老的真核生物群體之一。本書的目的是更好地理解真菌的歷史和重要性，以及將它們與其姊妹群體——多細胞動物，以及其他類似真菌的群體如變形蟲和卵菌區分開來的特徵。許多真菌物種是動植物的重要病原體，並擁有獨特但平行的致病策略。真菌與其他生物的互利互動對它們在不同生態位的生存至關重要，並對它們的演化及基因組的設計產生重大影響。代謝是生命中最重要的特徵之一，而代謝過程的多樣性最好通過考慮演化來理解。對真菌代謝的研究傳統上集中於特定的代謝物，即真菌毒素、致病因子、抗生素及其他具有物種間活性的化合物。

本卷將對真菌學家、演化生物學家和真菌遺傳學家，以及微生物學和真菌學的講師和學生產生極大的興趣。

作者簡介

Stefanie Pöggeler (born 1963) studied Biology at the Ruhr-Universität in Bochum (Germany). In 1993, she graduated with a thesis on intron-encoded polypeptides in plastids and mitochondria under the supervision of Prof. Ulrich Kück. She later on completed her "Habilitation" at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum in 2000 and was awarded the Venia Legendi in Botany. Between 2001 and 2003 she had a stand-in assistant professorship in Botany at the Wilhelms Universität in Münster (Germany). In 2006 she was appointed as professor for Genetics of Eukaryotic Microorganisms at the Georg-August Universität Göttingen (Germany).
Her work is focused on the analysis of mating type genes and autophagy in sexual development of filamentous ascomycetes. In a second line of research, she is interested in the evolution of fungal inteins.


Timothy Y. James (born 1973) studied Biology at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina (United States of America) in thelab of Prof. Rytas Vilgalys. He graduate in 2003 with a thesis on the evolution of mating-type genes in mushroom forming fungi. He completed postdoctoral fellowships at Duke University, Uppsala University (Sweden), and McMaster University (Canada) before starting as an assistant professor in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan (U.S.A.). He is the Curator of Fungi at the University of Michigan Fungarium (MICH) and is the Lewis E. Wehmeyer and Elaine Prince Wehmeyer Chair in Fungal Taxonomy. His work is focused on resolving the fungal tree of life, in particular discovering the hidden phylogenetic diversity of the tree by analysis of zoosporic and unculturable lineages of fungi. He is also interested in the evolution of ploidy and mitotic recombination.
