The earlier decade has witnessed an explosion of our wisdom at the constitution, coding ability and evolution of the genomes of the 2 DNA-containing phone organelles in crops: chloroplasts (plastids) and mitochondria. Comparative genomics analyses have supplied new insights into the starting place of organelles via endosymbioses and exposed a massive evolutionary dynamics of organellar genomes. additionally, they've got significantly helped to elucidate phylogenetic relationships, particularly in algae and early land vegetation with restricted morphological and anatomical variety. This booklet, written by way of best specialists, summarizes our present wisdom approximately plastid and mitochondrial genomes in all significant teams of algae and land crops. it is also chapters on endosymbioses, plastid and mitochondrial mutants, gene expression profiling and techniques for organelle transformation. The publication is designed for college kids and researchers in plant molecular biology, taxonomy, biotechnology and evolutionary biology.

Xenopus Protocols: Cell Biology and Signal Transduction
Even if Xenopus oocytes are very hardy and powerful by way of experimentation and provide surprisingly basic and cheap possibilities for the supply of mRNA to the cytoplasm and DNA to the nucleus, they're underutilized as an experimental version. In Xenopus Protocols: phone Biology and sign Transduction, hands-on researchers describe normal and state of the art strategies for utilizing Xenopus oocytes and oocyte/egg extracts to reconstitute organic and mobile tactics.
