Plants come in myriads of shapes and colors, and the beauty of
plants has fascinated mankind for thousands of years. Long before
Mendel discovered the laws of heritab- ity and Darwin developed his
theory on evolution, the affection for ornamental plants led people
to select alleles that establish novel plant forms. Today, plant
developmental biology tries to discover the mechanisms that control
the establishment of specialized cell types, tissues, and organs
from the fertilized egg during a plant's life. Although the
underlying processes of cell proliferation and differentiation are
similar in plants and a- mals, plants are different because their
development is usually open, and its outcome is not the faithful
repetition of a general plan but is strongly in?uenced by environm-
tal conditions. In the last few decades, plant developmental
biology has pinpointed a large number of developmental regulators
and their interactions and the mechanisms that govern plant
development start to emerge. In part, this progress was enabled by
the advance of powerful molecular tools for a few model species,
most importantly Arabidopsis. This volume of the Methods in
Molecular Biology series provides a collection of protocols for
many of the common experimental approaches in plant developmental
bi- ogy. All chapters are written in the same format as that used
in the Methods in Molecular TM Biology series. Each chapter opens
with a description of the basic theory behind the method being
described.
