What is it about?

Why is it important?
A new antifungal gene resource was reported in the manuscript.
Perspectives
Woody perennials as a source in gene mining programs are attempted by few research groups. The study demonstrates that functional characterization of genes from non-model crops can provide a new resource for future transformation programs.
