summary (on back cover) |
| Arabidopsis has long been acknowledged as the ideal molecular genetic tool for the
analysis of development in higher plants. This book covers all the key techniques for
using Arabidopsis as an experimental system. It starts by introducing the optimal growth
conditions, maintenance and genetic resources available for Arabidopsis. Further chapters
then describe a range of strategies and methodologies for the identification, mapping
(using multi-marker lines and recombinant inbreds), and characterization of different
mutants by microscopy, molecular cytogenetics and gene expression analysis. Different
cloning approaches, using transposons, T-DNA and physical map positions,
are described in full detail. Sequencing of the Arabidopsis genome will be completed in
2000, making bioinformatics of key importance. Thus, the bioinformatics tools that are
already available in the Web and their use for Arabidopsis research are
also covered. |
