Description: 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.
Review Quotes: "an excellent contribution to the British Mycological Society symposium series...focuses on recent developments in methods for gene manipulation in fungi together with specific examples of how these techniques are being used to exploit industrially important species for use in heterologous gene expression and strain improvement and for the analysis of plant fungal pathogenesis...the editors and authors of this volume have produced an excellent reference source for biotechnologists in industrial mycology as well as for institutional libraries serving students of fungal molecular biology."
