A comprehensive and groundbreaking collection of ideas for plant improvement   Most of the world's supply of legumes is cultivated under adverse conditions     that make this commercially important crop susceptible to the vagaries of nature     and damaging stresses. Genetic manipulation has become a proven way for cultivators     to battle these problems; but there has been a lack of reliable information     on the practical aspects of this promising method. Handbook of New Technologies     for Genetic Improvement of Legumes is the important text that fills     this void by providing a vast array of groundbreaking essays from some of the     discipline's most renowned experts. This unique collection is your single     source for not only the most up-to-date accounts of genetic manipulation employed     today, but also ideas for realistic and practical uses.   Comprehensive in its approach, Handbook of New Technologies for Genetic     Improvement of Legumes presents the latest research on all aspects     of genetically modified legume production. With contributions from over 90 international     experts, this eye-opening resource offers an in-depth exploration of key topics     such as, genetic transformation technology, suppression-subtractive hybridization,     c-DNA micro arrays, molecular mapping, tagging regulatory elements, and real-time     PCR. Additionally, this text features a wealth of detailed references and informative     tables to clearly explain pertinent data.   Chapters in Handbook of New Technologies for Genetic Improvement of     Legumes detail both family- and species-specific topics such as:   agrobacterium-mediated transformation in trifolium and medicago      biotechnological approaches to soybean improvement      transgenic approaches for enhancement of vitamin E      particle bombardment and SAAT approaches      agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation and in vitro regeneration          plant regeneration via organogenesis, somatic embryogenesis, and protoplast     culture      somaclonal variation and its exploitation      cotyledonary node and embryo axes as explants      in planta transformation of pisum sativum l.      de novo regeneration protocol      reverse genetic approaches in medicago truncatula      tagging regulatory elements in plants      gene expression analysis with DNA array technology      advent of diverse DNA markers to decipher genome sequence polymorphism      defensins in legumes      legume-nematode interaction with reference to model legumes      and much, much more!  Handbook of New Technologies for Genetic Improvement of Legumes     is an invaluable resource for researchers and educators in the area of plant     genetic manipulation and plant biotechnology as well as scientists, educators,     and graduate students focusing on the genetic manipulation of legumes.
