"Plant Functional Genomics presents a cross-section of current research on the biological function of plant genes and how they work together in health and disease. You\'ll find breakthrough techniques, results of projects focused on particular plant functions, and an overview of the state of functional genomics for several plant-related species. This important resource contains a wealth of data generated by various plant genome sequencing projects, including the newest results from experiments with Arabidopsis thaliana--the first plant to be completely sequenced. This book also contains innovative research on:
T-DNA mutagenesis
transcriptomics and metabolic profiling in plants
large-scale yeast two-hybrid analyses
the exceptional model system of Chlamydomonas genomics
functional genomics in rice, maize, and Physcomitrella
prospects for functional genomics in a new model grass
chloroplast and plant mitochondrial proteomics
plant transporters
and much more
With figures, tables, and illustrations, this book will help scientists, researchers, and advanced students in botany find new ways of creating novel plant forms to better serve the needs of a rapidly expanding human population."
