Conservation of Plant Genetic Resources

This volume details techniques, methods, and information relevant to the conservation of plant germplasm. Chapters guide researchers through conservation protocols, in vitro conservation, cryopreservation, seed conservation, and plant genetic resources. 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.

Cutting-edge and comprehensive, Conservation of Plant Genetic Resources aims to provide efficient protocols for plant conservation.
