Agrobacterium Protocols
Edited by Kevan M. A. Gartland, University
of Abertay Dundee, Scotland, UK and Michael R. Davey, University of
Nottingham, UK
Agrobacterium Protocols offers beginning
and experienced researchers a comprehensive collection of step-by-step protocols for the
genetic manipulation of plants using Agrobacterium. The topics range from the
maintenance of bacterial culture collections to aspects of the metabolism and physiology
of tansformed tissue and transgenic plants.
Drawing on the work of leading
scientists from laboratories around the world, Agrobacterium Protocols provide a wealth of
techniques for introducing specific DNA sequences into target palnt species and discusses
the environment implications of genetically engineered plants. Its detailed
procedures will facilitate rapid tranfer of advanced techniques to other laboratories and
their exploitation in fundamental and applied plant biology.
Features
