| Techniques for studying cell and gene function in plants are growing rapidly in power
and sophistication. A course for investigators who are familiar with molecular biology and
want to use plants as experimental organisms has been held at Cold Spring Harbor since
1981. This manual, the first published compilation of methods from the course since 1985,
presents current methods in gene technology that are taught in the course, applied to
higher plants. Complete step-by-step protocols are given, with full descriptions of the
materials required, clear advice on trouble-shooting and discussion of the rationale and
application of the methods chosen. This book, in the long tradition of excellence
associated with bench manuals from Cold Spring Harbor, is an essential tool for all
investigators engaged in work with plant genes. 1994, 300 pp. (approx.), illus., color
plates, appendix, index |
