Genetic Transformation Of Plants Moleculer Methods Of Plant Analysis (Hb 2009)

Genetic Transformation of Plants (Molecular Methods of Plant Analysis, Vol. 23), edited by John F. Jackson and Hans F. Linskens (Springer), treats plant genetic transformation not only as a route to crop improvement but as a powerful tool for analysing plant gene function. The book covers transformation across a range of plants, including species that are difficult to transform, and describes the techniques developed for them: Agrobacterium suspension drops, electroporation, PEG-mediated transfer, silicon carbide whiskers and several biolistic methods. It also includes a chapter on intellectual property rights. A valuable reference for researchers and postgraduate students in plant biotechnology, molecular biology and genetic engineering.
