In Arabidopsis Protocols internationally recognized experts offer a comprehensive collection of significant new methods for gene mapping, cloning, and reverse genetics, as well as updated standard protocols for work in Arabidopsis genetics and molecular biology. These time-tested methods range from techniques for succesful growing of Arabidopsis to strategies for gene cloning. The sections on genetics, tranformation, and gene expression analysis will be especially helpful to scientists involved in mutant analysis or in producing and analyzing transgenic plants. In many cases, the protocols can also be applied to other plant species with minor adjustments.

Serving both experienced researchers and beginners in the field, Arabidopsis Protocols will immediately become the standard reference for laboratories working with Arabidopsis, the plant of choice to approach many fundamental questions in plant biology.
