This exciting approach has involved botanists for hundreds of years, but many points of mycoheterotrophy have remained elusive for an extended time.
Mycoheterotrophy: The Biology of crops dwelling on Fungi explores the biology of mycoheterotrophs, delivering basic insights into their ecology, range, and evolution. Written through well known specialists within the box and reinforced with lavish illustrations and pictures, this quantity offers a thematic evaluate of other elements of mycoheterotrophy. accomplished and with no trouble accessible, Mycoheterotrophy: The Biology of crops dwelling on Fungi is a priceless source for researchers and scholars who're drawn to the method of mycoheterotrophy.
