Genomics of Plants and Fungi (Mycology Series)

This volume provides technical insight on how genomics-oriented studies may be used to bring new understanding to established models of fungal development. The book helps to assess and solve problems associated with multiple copies of genes and proteins with seemingly identical functions and depicts various industrial applications. To bridge the information gap resulting from this field's explosive growth, Genomics of Plants and Fungi addresses the implementation of workflow applications with the METEOR Workflow Management System, and discusses clinical manifestations of Aspergillus infection, stunted and medusa genes, hyphal mating and fertilization, and vegetative incompatibility. This book explains how genomics-oriented studies may be used to bring new understanding to models of fungal development and how genomics information may be used for industrial applications. It examines problem associated with multiple copies of genes and protein with seemingly identical function. Provides insight on how genomics-oriented studies may be used to bring 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 industrial and economic applications
