Description

Based on the successful course in Plant Genetic Transformations and Gene Expression run at Leicester University, this laboratory manual describes methods for the genetic transformation of plants and provides instruction on the preparation of plant material. For easy use at the laboratory bench, the methods are clearly laid out and the manual has a spiral binding and laminated covers. This book will be invaluable to academic and industrial researchers wishing to study plant gene expression or genetic engineering using recombinant DNA technology.

Table of Contents

  • Contents: Vectors for the transformation of plant cells using Agrobacterium

  • Transformation of plant cells by DNA-mediated gene transfer
  • The isolation of plant nucleic acids
  • DNA restriction and analysis by Southern hybridization
  • Analysis of gene organization and expression in plants.
