Description

A volume designed to cover the entire range of plant genetic engineering, from the molecule to the organism, in both theoretical and practical examples. A unique feature is the section on the molecular biology of chloroplast genomes and the prospects for their manipulation.

Table of Contents

  • Part 1 Basic techniques in plant biotechnology: vectors for gene transfer in higher plants
  • methods for transforming plant cells
  • techniques in plant cell and tissue culture
  • selected topics in the genetic manipulation of nuclear genome
  • regulation and self-expression of plant genes in microorganisms. Part 2 Regulation of gene expression in plants: the molecular architecture of plant genes - a look at the cellular level
  • gene expression in early embryogenesis
  • photoregulation of gene expression in plants
  • hormonal and stress regulation of gene expression in cereal aleurone layers
  • auxin-regulated gene expression in plants
  • cytokinin-modulated macromolecular synthesis and expression of genes for photosynthetic and pigments-protein complexes in photosynthetic bacteria. Part 3 Prospects for manipulation of chloroplast genomes: organization and expression of the "Nicotania" chloroplast genome.
