Fungi : experimental methods in biology

Fungi : experimental methods in biology / Ramesh Maheshwari.

Fungi are now at the forefront of research on mechanisms in gene silencing, biological rhythm, mating processes, biogenesis of intracellular organelles, adaptations to hostile habitats, structure of natural populations, and speciation. Because of their small genomes, fungi are being used in "sy...
