Humana Plant Meiosis: Methods and Protocols: 990 (Methods in Molecular Biology, 990)

This Methods in Molecular Biology™ book offers methods for molecular cytogenetics and chromosome analysis in plants. Includes state-of-the-art protocols for studying the organization and behavior of genetic material in a wide range of model and crop species. From the Back Cover Meiosis is one of the most critical processes in eukaryotes, required for continuation of species and generation of new variation.  In plants, meiotic recombination is by far the most important source of genetic variation.  In Plant Meiosis: Methods and Protocols, expert researchers in the field detail methods for molecular cytogenetics and chromosome analysis in plants.  These state-of -the-art protocols allow studying the organization and behavior of the genetic material in a wide range of both model and crop species.  Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology™series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and key tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.    Authoritative and practical, Plant Meiosis: Methods and Protocols provides and extensive list of protocols developed and used in a number of laboratories at the cutting edge of meiosis and chromosome research.
