The 1980s and 1990s have brought with them progress in plant chromosomal research. The chromosome has been clarified in detail, enabling identification of even gene sequences at the microscopic level, which has aided in the analysis of biodiversity. Knowledge of chromosome structure has played a crucial role on the improvement of crop species and has far-reaching implications. The manipulation and engineering of chromosomes involves novel methods, combining conventional and modern techniques of biotechnology. A working knowledge of such techniques is useful for students and researchers and...

The past two decades have brought with them remarkable progress in plant chromosomal research. The chromosome structure has been clarified in great detail, enabling identification of gene sequences at the microscopic level, which has aided the analysis of biodiversity. Knowledge of chromosome structure has played a crucial role in the improvement of crop species and has far-reaching implications. The manipulation and engineering of chromosomes involves a panoply of novel methods, combining conventional and modern techniques of biotechnology. A working knowledge of such techniques is essential...

This laboratory manual covers the study of chromosomes in plants, animal and human systems, dealing with the protocols and principles involved. It caters to the requirements of scientists working laboratories, presenting details of the operational mechanism for use at the chromosome level.
