DNA FINGERPRINTING IN PLANTS

Weising (plant molecular systematics, University of Kassel, Germany) presents step-by-step annotated protocols for DNA fingerprinting, for all those involved in plant research, DNA profiling, and molecular markers. Along with the protocol, contributors also discuss the technical aspects and modifications of existing techniques, the influence of reaction components and conditions, and the analysis of results. This second edition is revised to address the changes in the field since the first edition was published, and includes PCR-based techniques as well as more sophisticated methods.
