This second edition volume expands on the previous edition with a look at the latest techniques used to study plant hormone jasmonate (JA). The chapters in this book and are organized into three parts: Parts One and Two discuss the role of JA in plant physiology and development, and in plant-biotic interactions. Part Three talks about methods used by researchers to study jasmonate metabolism and signaling. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Cutting-edge and practical, Jasmonate in Plant Biology: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition is a valuable resource for both novice and expert researchers who are interested in learning more about this developing field.

Includes cutting-edge methods and protocols Provides step-by-step detail essential for reproducible results Contains key notes and implementation advice from the experts
