The book “Topics in Mycology and Pathology” by L.N. Nair is structured to systematically cover both foundational fungal biology and core plant pathology principles.
While a digital full-text breakdown of this exact volume’s chapters isn’t explicitly detailed online, the Table of Contents (TOC) structure traditionally spans the following core themes:
Section I: Mycology
- General Introduction: General characteristics, reproduction mechanisms, cell wall structure (chitin), and classification of the Fungi kingdom.
- Fungal Diversity & Taxonomy: In-depth studies of key groups, including:
- Phycomycetes (Molds)
- Ascomycetes (Sac fungi/Yeasts)
- Basidiomycetes (Club fungi/Mushrooms)
- Deuteromycetes (Fungi imperfecti)
- Applied Mycology: Economic importance of fungi in medicine, food production (baking, brewing), and biotechnology.
Section II: Plant Pathology
- Introduction to Pathology: Definition of disease, classification of plant diseases, and terminology (pathogen, host, susceptibility, vector).
- Mechanism of Pathogenesis: How fungi invade host plants, colonize tissues, and cause physiological disruptions.
- Major Plant Diseases: Case studies covering symptoms, causal organisms, disease cycles, and control measures for:
- Rusts and smuts of crops
- Blights and rots (e.g., late blight of potato)
- Powdery and downy mildews
- Disease Management: Physical, chemical, biological, and cultural control strategies to protect crop yields.
