Produktbeschreibung

This volume provides methods, protocols, and reviews that are useful for new and experienced plant microbiome researchers. Chapters guide readers through the investigation of microbiomes associated with seeds, sampling microbiomes from plant compartments and tissues, culture-based methods, culture-independent metabarcoding methods, methods to obtain DNA and perform metabarcoding, protocols to block PCR amplification from the plant host, qPCR-based methods, editing of specific genes in Bacillus genomes, and Streptomycetes and plant microbial indicators. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and cutting-edge, The Plant Microbiome: Methods and Protocols aims to ensure successful results in the further study of this vital field.
