This book covers both the molecular basics of fungal stress response strategies as well as
biotechnological applications thereof. The complex regulatory mechanisms of stress response
pathways are presented in a concise and well-readable manner. Also light will be shed on the
interconnection of pathways responding to different types of stress. Profound knowledge of
stress responses in yeast and filamentous fungi is crucial for further optimization of
industrial processes. Applications are manifold for example in fungicide development for
improving the resistance of crop plants to fungal pathogens but also in medicine to help
curing fungal infections. The book targets researchers from academia and industry as well as
graduate students interested in microbiology mycology and biomedicine.
