Internationally recognized experts offer a comprehensive collection of significant new methods for gene mapping, cloning, and reverse genetics, as well as updated standard protocols for work with Arabidopsis genetics and molecular biology. These time-tested methods range from techniques for the succesful growing of Arabidopsis to strategies for gene cloning. The sections on genetics, transformation, and gene expression analysis will be especially helpful to scientists involved in mutant analysis or in producing and analyzing transgenic plants. In many cases, the protocols can also be applied to other plant species, with minor adjustments.This comprehensive collection of current and essential protocols contains many easily reproducible methods developed for use with Arabidopsis - a system for approaching fundamental questions in plant biology.
