Inheritance and transfer of root rot (Pythium) resistance to bean varieties

Deciphering the biological functions of each gene in the genome is fundamental for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying normal development, physiology,and behavior, as well as diseases. One common approach to determine gene function is to disrupt individual genes and assess the consequences. Zebrafish (Danio rerio) has been gaining popularity as a model organism to analyze gene function. This is particularly true in China
