Diversity, Interactions and Research Tools

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Oomycetes are pathogens that pose a risk to agricultural crops and animals-the USDA states they can cause $1 - $2 billion in losses worldwide each year to soybeans alone. This book brings together the knowledge from and tools for genetic and genomic research into oomycetes to help solve the problems this pathogen poses to crops and animals. Armed with the information presented here, researchers can use oomycete data to solve practical problems and gain insight into future areas of interest.
