The book covers the taxonomy, diversity, bioactivity, and nanotechnology involved in the study of the genus Phoma. It presents the most recent molecular taxonomic approach, secondary metabolites, different bioactivities, combating microbial threats, and its use in nanotechnology from a basic research to an applied perspective. Expert contributors provide the latest research and applications to present thorough coverage of this important genus in human and plant pathology and the disease management.
