Plant Nitric Oxide: Methods and Protocols

by Kapuganti Jagadis Gupta (Editor)

Overview

With numerous methods available for the quantification of nitric oxide (NO), this detailed book explores their advantages and disadvantages in order to provide a foundation for further research in plant nitric oxide. After providing a useful practical guide to choosing a technique for measuring NO from plant materials, the book continues with chapters on chemiluminescence, diaminofluorescence (DAF), EPR spectroscopy, a laser-based method, as well as many other topics. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory methods, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Practical and authoritative, Plant Nitric Oxide: Methods and Proolsserves as a valuable guide to all researchers working and intending to work in the field of plant nitric oxide research.
