From the reviews: "The book is latest volume in the series 'Methods in Molecular Biology' ... . The volume 'Plant Genomics. Methods and Protocols' concerns a wide spectrum of problems, some of them outside of the main scope of the field ... . In summary, 'Plant Genomics. Methods and Protocols' can be recommended as a valuable source of timely information for students, researchers and breeders." (Pawel Sowinski, Acta Biochimica Polonica, December, 2009) "This book is part of the very successful Methods in Molecular Biology series that provides research protocols and methodologies for biological scientists. ... the book does succeed in covering a wide range of topics and will therefore be a useful addition to university libraries. ... In summary, the book is well written with some informative and detailed protocols for plant molecular biologists ... ." (Stephen Byrne and Toni Wendt, Annals of Botany, Vol. 107 (4), 2011)
