This fourth edition compiles the most recent methodologies developed to exploit the Arabidopsis genome. Chapters detail access to public resources, to genetic, cell biology, biochemical and physiological techniques, and sections on genome, transcriptome, proteome, metabolome and other whole-system approaches. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, application details for both the expert and non-expert reader, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.Authoritative and cutting-edge, Arabidopsis Protocols, Fourth Edition aims to ensure successful results in the further study of this vital field.

Includes cutting-edge methods and protocols
