Proceedings of the First International Seminar on Mushroom Science, Mierlo, Netherlands, 14-17 May 1991. 1991. ca. 300 p. gr8vo. Hard cover.

The goal of this first seminar is to emphasize the importannce of the recent discoveries in genetics for mushroom research and to introduce new technologies into breeding and spawn making in commercially important mushrooms. It is also the intention to bring together experts from Universities and R&D institutes and development officers. It also serves as an honour to Dr. Gerda Frische at her retirement from the Mushroom Experimental Station at Horst, Netherlands. - Contents(preliminary): Section 1: Analysis of the genome of A.bisporus/Section 2: Genetic manipulation of basidiomycetes/ Section 3: Diseasecontrol in A.bisporus/ Section 4: Strategies for breeding and preparation of spawn.
