Plant Genome Analysis: Current Topics in Plant Molecular Biology

0.0

Plant Genome Analysis presents outstanding analyses of technologies, as well as explanations of molecular technology as it pertains to agriculture. Advances in genome analysis, including DNA amplification (DAF & RAPD) markers, RFLPs & microsatellites are reviewed by accomplished scientists, many of whom are the developers of the technique. Articles by patent lawyers experienced in plant biotechnology present the legal viewpoint. Chapters focus on special elements of genome analysis, such as the: use of antisense technology investigation of telomeres production of plant yeast artificial chromosomes (YAC) so importance of cell cycle genes in plants. Other chapters focus on specialized topics of genome analysis. These include a description of antisense technology in the study of photosynthesis & a comprehensive review of the characterization & isolation of plant telomere, including their use in varietal discrimination. A detailed analysis of cytoplasm male sterility in the French bean that focuses on the mitochondrial genome is described. The book provides a chapter on the production of YACs carrying soybean DNA. Genes of the cell cycle in plants & their importance in developmental processes are presented, as well as detailed chapters on the molecular mapping of trees & nodulation-related genes in legumes.
