Genomic characterization of Trichoderma atrobrunneum (T. harzianum species complex) ITEM 908: Insight into the genetic endowment of a multi-target biocontrol strain

So far, biocontrol agent selection has been performed mainly by time consuming in vitro confrontation tests followed by extensive trials in greenhouse and field. An alternative approach is offered by application of high-throughput techniques, which allow extensive screening and comparison among strains for desired genetic traits.
