This book presents a set of modern protocols forming a solid
background for who want to start or improve research programme on
phytoplasmas. Chapters guide readers through detailed techniques for
maintaining phytoplasma collections, border inspection, detection of
different phytoplasma strains, new pipelines to produce phytoplasma
genome draft, protocols for phytoplasma gene expression analyses, and
methods for the investigation of the phloem tissue. 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.
Authoritative and cutting-edge, Phytoplasmas: Methods and Protocols aims to ensure successful results in the further study of this vital field.
