Plant Functional Genomics

This detailed book gathers hands-on techniques to characterize, identify, localize, profile, and determine genome functions in plants. Volume 1 opens with a section exploring protocols to advance our understanding of plant genetics and ecology via phenomics, and it continues with chapters on plant genetics, transcriptomics, and proteomics to unravel plant protein structures and functions, bridging proteomics and phosphoproteomics. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
