Genetic Engineering: Principles and Methods (Genetic Engineering: Principles and Methods (23))

Genetic Engineering: Principles and Methods presents state-of-the-art discussions in modern genetics and genetic engineering. Recent volumes have covered gene therapy research, genetic mapping, plant science and technology, transport protein biochemistry, and viral vectors in gene therapy, among many other topics.

Key features of Volume 27 include:

- Identification and Analysis of Micrornas

- Dormancy and the Cell Cycle

- Long distance peptide and metal transport in plants

- Signaling in plant response to temperature and water stresses

- Nutrient transport and metabolism in plants

- Salt Stress Signaling and Mechanisms of Plant Salt Tolerance

- Gene cloning and expression

- Assisted folding and assembly of proteins

This is the 17th edition of an annual volume of contributed papers in various areas of genetic engineering. It is intended to present up-to-date information in the field. This volume will be of interest to investigators interested in genetic manipulation and engineering and would also be of value to library collections. The individual contributions are well illustrated and include extensive pertinent references. Both eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms are included. The 13 entries in this volume include coverage of DNA excision and repair, bacterial virulence genes, metal binding proteins, RNA tertiary structure, expression systems, toxins, and genetic exchanges between plant cells and bacteria. Several of the entries deal heavily with technical developments. This annual series of reviews is strong on technique.
