Wood Formation in Trees (eBook, ePUB)

Cell and Molecular Biology Techniques

Produktbeschreibung

Trees, a major component of the biosphere, can provide solutions to modern challenges of global warming and dwindling fossil fuel reserves. Unfortunately, too little is known about the biology of these plants, due to a lack of appropriate techniques for studying how they are formed. Wood Formation in Trees presents a variety of detailed protocols for the study of the cell and molecular biology of wood formation: anatomical, biochemical and molecular-genetic. Internationally recognized experts, most of whom are the researchers who developed the techniques, speak with authority in this volume, and also provide first-hand tips and trade secrets to help the uninitiated master the techniques.
