Genetics and Breeding of Edible Mushrooms

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Genetics and Breeding of Edible Mushrooms is the first book not only to explore the breeding programs for Agaricus bisporus (the button mushroom), but to view the subject in the context of the large range of edible mushrooms which are currently under cultivation worldwide. From the background and general objectives of culture collection and breeding to the genetic systems and molecular biological approaches to breeding, the authors' coverage is in-depth and current, filling a gap which exists in the field. The innovative applications of breeding programs for specific purposes, including the provision of a food source, the production of high value fungal metabolites, the upgrading of lignocellulosic wastes and wastewater treatment, are also discussed.
