Current protocols in plant biology

Current protocols in plant biology - Sound and reproducible laboratory methods are the foundation of scientific discovery. Yet nuances that are critical for an experiment's success are not captured in the primary literature but exist only as part of a lab's oral tradition. Current Protocols in Plant Biology provides reproducible step-by-step instructions for protocols relevant to plant research. Written by experts in the field and extensively edited to our exacting standards, the protocols include all of the information necessary to complete an experiment in the laboratory—introduction, materials lists with supplier information, detailed step-by-step procedures with helpful annotations, recipes for reagents and solutions, illustrative figures and information-packed tables. Each article also provides invaluable discussions of background information, applications of the methods, important assumptions, key parameters, time considerations, and tips to help avoid common pitfalls and troubleshoot experiments. Furthermore, Current Protocols content is thoughtfully organized by topic for optimal usage and to maximize contextual knowledge. Quarterly issues allow Current Protocols in Plant Biology to constantly evolve to keep pace with the newest discoveries and developments.

Current Protocols in Plant Biology is the comprehensive source for protocols in the multidisciplinary field of plant biology, providing an extensive range of protocols from basic to cutting edge. Coverage includes:

1. Extraction and analysis of DNA, RNA, proteins
2. Chromosome analysis
3. Transcriptional analysis
4. Protein expression
5. Metabolites
6. Plant enzymology
7. Epigenetics
8. Plant genetic transformation
9. Mutagenesis
10. Arabidopsis, Maize, Poplar, Rice, and Soybean, and more

The target audience for Current Protocols in Plant Biology is any life scientist interested in techniques of plant biology. Sufficient detail is provided to permit duplication of the protocols in any laboratory, whatever the disciplinary background and level of sophistication.
