This volume focuses on various approaches to studying long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), including techniques for finding lncRNAs, localization, and observing their functions. The chapters in this book cover how to catalog lncRNAs in various plant species; determining subcellular l…
This new edition focuses on applied bioinformatics with specific applications to crops, model and diverse plant species. The scope extends from the genome to the phenome and includes aspects of data management, analysis, visualization, and integration. The methods and approaches…
This text assembles experimental and bioinformatics protocols for the design and experimental testing of synthetic promoters. The identification of cis -regulatory elements potentially achieving the desired expression of a gene is at the core of synthetic promoter design. For th…
This volume presents readers with up-to-date protocols, bioinformatics toolkits, and reference material for understanding circRNAs in plants. The chapters in this book summarize the concepts and techniques for prediction/identification, validation, and analysis of plant circRNAs…
This book offers an engaging introduction to this exciting area of scientific research and technology. The text begins with a summary of current knowledge about plant genome organization and gene expression, followed by an introduction to the techniques of plant tissue culture a…
Experience shows that biotic stresses occur with different levels of intensity in nearly all agricultural areas around the world. The occurrence of insects, weeds and diseases caused by fungi, bacteria or viruses may not be relevant in a specific year but they usually harm yield…
