Synopsis

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 successful 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. Serving both experienced researchers and beginners in the field, Arabidopsis Protocols will immediately become the standard reference for laboratories working with Arabidopsis, the plant of choice to approach many fundamental questions in plant biology.

About this title

Review

...especially valuable for detailed step-by-step procedures including many important notes...an indispensable guide, which should be at reach on the shelf in each laboratory where the plant molecular-genetic methods in Arabidopsis, and not only Arabidopsis, are used. - Biologia Plantarum, Reviewer: J. Relichova

From the Back Cover

Arabidopsis Protocols, Third Edition compiles some of the most recent methodologies developed to exploit the Arabidopsis genome. These methodologies cover from the guided access to public resources, to genetic, cell biology, biochemical and physiological techniques, including both those that are widely used as well as those novel techniques likely to open up new avenues of knowledge in the future.  In addition, considering the recent unparalleled progress of the “omics” tools in Arabidopsis, leading experts have contributed sections on genome, transcriptome, proteome, metabolome and other whole-system approaches. Arabidopsis thaliana is acknowledged as the most important plant model system by the scientific community and Arabidopsis research has fundamentally influenced our understanding of the basic biology and ecology of plants. Written in the successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

 

Authoritative and easily accessible, Arabidopsis Protocols, Third Edition seeks to serve both experienced researchers and beginners with its detailed methodologies on this burgeoning scientific field.
