Full Description
This detailed volume explores the development of technologies and protocols that are currently being used to understand the nature and activities of the plant cytoskeleton. A focus for many of the chapters is on sample preparation, as the quality of plant organ/tissue preparation, from single to multicellular samples, determines the quality of the data. 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.
Authoritative and practical, The Plant Cytoskeleton: Methods and Protocols serves as an ideal guide for researchers interested in or starting to be interested in plant cell and molecular biology research.
