Plant Molecular Systematics: Macromolecular Approaches

By Daniel J. Crawford

Describes how the primary chemicals (protein, DNA) found in plants are used in determining plant taxonomic and evolutionary relationships--a growing area reflecting the application of molecular biologic techniques in macromolecular systematic research. Topics include seed protein electrophoresis, electrophoretic studies of Rubisco, enzyme electrophoresis, amino acid sequencing, and systematic serology. Emphasizes evaluation of the systematic potential of the various kinds of data made available by new technology. Includes case studies and discussion of trends and directions in molecular systematics.
