This volume explores plastid evolution structure and function in algae plants and protists.
The methods described in this book help scientists visualize fractionate purify and study
primary and secondary plastids in plant and algal materials. The chapters in this book also
look at various techniques to analyze plastids through means of combining biology strategies
from genetics genomics proteomics and lipidomics. Written in the highly successful Methods
in Molecular Biology series format chapters include introductions to their respective topics
lists of the necessary materials and reagents step-by-step readily reproducible laboratory
protocols and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Cutting-edge and thorough
Plastids: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource for students engineers and researchers
who are interested in this evolving organelle and overall field.
