Functional genomic approach to the study of biodiversitywithin Trichoderma by Monte E, Hermosa M R, Gonzalez F J, Rey M, Cardoza R E, Gutierrez S, Delgado Jarana J, Llobell A

“…Therefore, there is a clear interest to explore beyond the phenotype to exploit the underlying genetic systems using functional genomics tools. The great diversity of species within the Trichoderma genus, the absence of optimized systems for its exploration, and the great variety of genes expressed under a wide range of ambient conditions are the main challenges to consider when starting a comprehensive functional genomics study. …”
