Opis

This book highlights the rapid development of gene transfer and cloning techniques in fungi and the ways that these techniques are being exploited in species of economic importance either in biotechnology or as plant pathogens.

Recenzje

"It may sound like an oxymoron, but gene transfer technology still has its major applications in basic research. For example, it can be used to identify pathogenicity genes in phytopathogenic fungi (Oliver et al.)...Overall, the chapters are well referenced and the book is well produced. It will serve as a useful point of departure to anyone contemplating novel applications of gene transfer technology, particularly in the less-studied fungi." Durgadas P. Kasbekar, The Quarterly Review of Biology
