This second edition details techniques for the study of cargo trafficking through endosomes. New and updated chapters guide readers through methods and protocols on the structural aspects of plant endosomes, combined biochemical, omics, imaging approaches to study the dynamics and contents of endosomal compartments. Additional chapters are dedicated to the analysis of lipids on endosomes and the identification and analysis of lipid binding proteins and lipid-binding domains relevant for the study of plant endosomes. 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.

Authoritative and cutting-edge, Plant Endosome s: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition aims to ensure successful results in the further study of this vital 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
