| Summary |
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. In twelve chapters the systems which are currently in use are surveyed and their individual strengths and weaknesses are analysed. Future developments in this exciting area of research are foreshadowed. Written by experts from North America, New Zealand, Europe and Japan, this book will be essential reading for biotechnologists and will be of interest to all researchers and graduate students in plant genetics and molecular biology |
