Inducible Gene Expression in Plants

by Paul H S Reynolds

Overview

The use of inducible gene expression systems is a rapidly developing area of plant molecular biological research. Written by experts from North America, New Zealand, Europe and Japan, this book reviews the latest information on the wide range of promoter systems which have been developed in order to obtain external, inducible control of gene expression in plants. The systems which are currently in use are surveyed and their individual strengths and weaknesses are analyzed. Future developments in this exciting area of research are foreshadowed.
