Description
The text describes how the primary chemicals (protein, DNA) found in plants are used to determine plant taxonomic and evolutionary relationships. This is a burgeoning area due to the application of molecular biologic techniques in macromolecular systematic research over the past few years. Topics include seed protein electrophoresis, electrophoretic studies of Rubisco, enzyme electrophoresis, amino acid sequencing, systematic serology and DNA studies. Emphasis is placed on evaluating the systematic potential of the various kinds of data made available by the new technology. Case studies are included, as are trends and directions in molecular systematics.
