This volume highlights molecular methods to study the phytopathogenic rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae. Chapters in this book cover the history, development, and evolution of the pathogen; molecular methods to increase the knowledge of the biology, genetic, and metabolic diversity of the pathogen; and the pathogen’s adaptability. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Cutting-edge and comprehensive, Magnaporthe oryzae: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource for any scientist or researcher interested in learning more about this developing field.
