Plant Proteostasis: Methods and Protocols [Paperback]

Thisvolume is a collection of detailed protocols describing state-of-art approachesthat will facilitate the understanding of protein homeostasis in plant stressresponses and development. Plant Proteostasis: Methods and Protocols is broken into four parts focusing on thestudy of ubiquitin-dependent post-translational modifications, protocolsfocused on Ubl post-translational modifications, protein homeostasis, andprotocols for the in silico analysis. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology seriesformat, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of thenecessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratoryprotocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and cutting-edge, Plant Proteostasis: Methods andProtocols aims to address next challenges in agriculture such asprecision horticulture.
