Somatic Cell Genetics

Editors: Mujib, A. (Ed.)
Presents accumulated knowledge/ information of research on ornamental plants and the role of somatic embryogenesis in the development of ornamental plants
Highlights the importance of embryonic cell/tissues in genetic transformation studies especially in ornamental plants
Describes cryopreservation technique in the protection of genetic resources of ornamental plants

As human gene therapy becomes a clinical reality, a new era in medicine dawns.

This second edition volume expands on the previous edition with updated discussions on new genetic, molecular, and cellular methods used to study somatic stem cells. The chapters in this book focus on the isolation, classification, purity, and plasticity of these stem cells in a variety of organic tissues. 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.
