The idea for this manual arose from what we perceived as the need for an up to date guide to class exercises in Protocols and Exercises in Advanced Mycology for post graduate students. This Manual will also help to PG students, research scholars and faculty members. The practical exercises covers - General equipment’s required for mycological laboratory, their uses and handling precautions, Isolation of Phytopathogenic Fungi, Counting the spores/cells of microorganism using Haemocytometer, Molecular Variability Assessment of Fungal Isolates, Molecular Characterization of Phyto-pathogenic Fungi, Strategies for Genome Sequencing of Fungal Plant Pathogens, Molecular Phylogeny: Principles and Practice etc. I am sure that readers, particularly students will find this text easy to understand, useful and resourceful.
