Description
Book SynopsisEdited and written by leading researchers from around the world, The Ecological Genomics of Fungi covers a broad diversity of fungal systems and provides unique insight into the functions of those fungi in various ecosystems, from soil, to plant, to human.
Trade Review“I think the volume may succeed in its ambition to serve as a catalyst for further studies by showing researchers venturing into ecological genomics and those already in genomics the width of the field. This may, in turn, further more integrative studies that will benefit our understanding of fungi.” (The Quarterly Review of Biology, 1 October 2015)
