The Plant Endoplasmic Reticulum: Methods and Protocols

This volume presents a range of different techniques that have been used to characterize the structure and function of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in higher plants. Chapters guide readers through application of modern microscopy techniques by fluorescence and electron microscopy, new prools for analysing ER network structure, methods to purify and analyse ER membrane structure and to study protein glycosylation, prools to study the unfolded protein response, and the role of the ER in aut...
