This detailed collection explores thermomorphogenesis, a discipline that unravels the intricacies of warm temperature responses in plants. How plants perceive, interpret, and respond to elevated temperatures has far-reaching implications for agriculture, ecology, and our fundamental understanding of plant development, and this book presents techniques to help researchers delve into this area of study. Beginning with a section on thermomorphogenesis responses, the volume continues with numerous chapters on temperature sensing and temperature signaling. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and practical, Thermomorphogenesis: Methods and Protocols serves as an ideal guide to this vital subject for research laboratories, as well as for graduate and undergraduate laboratory courses in plant molecular biology.
