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.
Key Features:
* Offers an up-to-date coverage of research into oomycetes
– which has advanced with biochemical and molecular analyses
in recent years
* Helps researchers use oomycete data to solve practical
problems, like damage to crop and animal resources
* Includes a section on interactions with animal hosts
* Offers perspective on future areas of research
* Assembles an international author base
