Magnaporthe oryzae, 1st ed. 2021
Methods and Protocols
Methods in Molecular Biology Series, Vol. 2356

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.
