This book is based on a meeting on the Fungal Nucleus organised by the
Physiology Group of the British Mycological Society and held in London
in April 1980. The contributions of the authors provide a detailed
picture of the knowledge of the cell nucleus in yeasts, filamentous
fungi and slime moulds at the time. These organisms are important model
eukaryotes for studies in cell and molecular biology. This volume deals
with the ultra structure, biochemistry and genetics of the fungal
nucleus and with the regulation of nuclear activity. It provides a
useful source of reference for any one interested in the progressive
study of mycology, genetics, microbiology and cell biology.
