{"product_id":"transgenic-cotton-baohong-zhang-9781627032117","title":"Transgenic Cotton: Methods and Protocols","description":"\u003cp\u003eCotton is the most important textile and cash crop and is widely cultivated in more than 70 countries, including the United States, China, and India. Because its long life cycle and complicated genetic background, it is hard to improve cotton using traditional breeding techniques although it has made much progress in the last several decades. Currently, transgenic techniques have become a powerful tool to improve cotton and transgenic cotton is among the first commercially genetically modified crops. \u003ci\u003eTransgenic Cotton: Methods and Protocols\u003c\/i\u003e provides a comprehensive collection of methods for creating and monitoring transgenic cotton and its application on agricultural and basic research. Divided into five convenient sections, topics covered include the current status and perspectives of transgenic cotton, the principle and methods for making transgenic cotton, the methods for detecting foreign gene copy and expression in transgenic plants, the improvement of cotton using transgenic technology, and finally the methods for monitoring the potential impact of transgenic cotton on environment, including gene flow. Written in the successful \u003ci\u003eMethods in Molecular Biology(TM)\u003c\/i\u003e series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthoritative and easily accessible, \u003ci\u003eTransgenic Cotton: Methods and Protocols\u003c\/i\u003e will serve as an excellent resource for scientists as well as graduate students who work on transgenic plants, plant genetics, molecular biology and agricultural sciences. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Baohong Zhang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1627032118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781627032117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Humana\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 277\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.29h x 7.21w x 0.82d","brand":"Baohong Zhang","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47424450887935,"sku":"9781627032117","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_332a9c02-1af4-429e-93fc-eb636685e0a1.jpg?v=1761530306","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transgenic-cotton-baohong-zhang-9781627032117","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
