'This book provides a broad spectrum of information. It is of special interest and can indeed be recommended for a readership from senior undergraduates to senior investigators working on fungal plant pathology.' Journal of Plant Physiology, 158:7 (2000) '...the volume can be recommended to the scientific community in plant pathology and especially to those interested in molecular aspects of host-pathogen interactions' Journal of Phytopathology, 149:7/8 (2001)
