Genomics of Plants and Fungi

Hardcover  440pp, illus  ISBN 0824741250      £125.00

Provides technical insight on how genomics-oriented studies may be used to bring new understanding to established models of fungal development; assess and solve problems associated with multiple copies of genes and proteins with seemingly identical functions; and depict various industrial and economic applications.
