Mycosphaerella spp. and Their Anomorphs Associated with Leaf Spot Diseases of Eucalyptus. 1998. (Mycologia Mem.,21). illus. 170 p. gr8vo. Paper bd.
As a laboratory and field resource, Mycosphaerella spp. and Their Anamorphs Associated with Leaf Spot Diseases of Eucalyptus can be used to identify Mycosphaerella spp. based on disease symptomatology and fungal morphology. This monograph covers 57 species of Mycosphaerella. A discussion of disease assessment, provenance selection and general epidemiology is combined with an evaluation of the value of taxonomic features such as symptomatology, teleomorph and anamorph characters. Features of the book include symptom photographs and illustrations of Mycosphaerella spp. and their anamorphs that help with disease identification, and standardized methods that aid in studying species of Mycosphaerella spp. This comprehensive monograph will be an asset to mycologists, plant pathologists, forest pathologists, foresters, and extension agents in the field or laboratory.
