With numerous methods available for the quantification ofnitric oxide (NO), this detailed book explores their advantages anddisadvantages in order to provide a foundation for further research in plantnitric oxide. After providing a useful practical guide to choosing a techniquefor measuring NO from plant materials, the book continues with chapters on chemiluminescence,diaminofluorescence (DAF), EPR spectroscopy, a laser-based method, as well asmany other topics. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductionsto their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents,step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory methods, and tips on troubleshootingand avoiding known pitfalls.
Practical and authoritative, PlantNitric Oxide: Methods and Protocolsserves as a valuable guide to allresearchers working and intending to work in the field of plant nitric oxideresearch.
