Plant taxonomy is an ancient discipline facing new challenges with
the current availability of a vast array of molecular approaches
which allow reliable genealogy-based classifications. Although the
primary focus of plant taxonomy is on the delimitation of species,
molecular approaches also provide a better understanding of
evolutionary processes, a particularly important issue for some
taxonomic complex groups. Molecular Plant Taxonomy: Methods and
Protocols describes laboratory protocols based on the use of
nucleic acids and chromosomes for plant taxonomy, as well as
guidelines for phylogenetic analysis of molecular data. Experts in
the field also contribute review and application chapters that will
encourage the reader to develop an integrative taxonomy approach,
combining nucleic acid and cytogenetic data together with other
crucial information (taxonomy, morphology, anatomy, ecology,
reproductive biology, biogeography, paleobotany), which will help
not only to best circumvent species delimitation but also to
resolve the evolutionary processes in play. Written in the
successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters
include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the
necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily
reproducible protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding
known pitfalls. Authoritative and easily accessible, Molecular
Plant Taxonomy: Methods and Protocols seeks to provide conceptual
as well as technical guidelines to plant taxonomists and
geneticists.

Authoritative and easily accessible, "Molecular Plant Taxonomy:
Methods and Protocols"seeks to provide conceptual as well as
technical guidelines to plant taxonomists and geneticists."
This fully updated edition explores conceptual as well as technical
guidelines for plant taxonomists and geneticists, such as the
increasing use of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies for
numerous applications in plant taxonomy. The volume provides
molecular approaches to be used within an "integrative taxonomy"
framework, combining a range of nucleic acid and cytogenetic data
together with other crucial information (taxonomy, morphology,
anatomy, ecology, reproductive biology, biogeography, paleobotany,
etc.), which will help not only to best circumvent species
delimitation but also to resolve the evolutionary processes in
play. 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 protocols, and tips
on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and
up-to-date, Molecular Plant Taxonomy: Methods and Protocols, Second
Edition is an ideal guide for researchers seeking a better
understanding of evolutionary processes, at species and population
level, through molecular techniques.
