Edited by Keith R. Davis and Raymond Hammerschmidt SCROLL DOWN TO ORDER THIS TITLE. This book presents techniques for studying Arabidopsis thaliana, a small, cruciferous weed that serves as an ideal model for investigating various aspects of higher plant biology. The book is based on a 1991 symposium held in St. Louis, Missouri. Arabidopsis thaliana's unique characteristics allow for the rapid growth and analysis of a large number of individuals in a minimum of space and subsequent amplification of useful genotypes for further study. The weed's compact genome with relatively few repetitive sequences make it ideal for genetic and molecular studies as well. 1993; 6" x 9" softcover; 134 pages ISBN 0-89054-153-1 Table of Contents Preface; Arabidopsis as a Model Plant System; The Genetic Basis of Resistance of Arabidopsis thaliana L.
