Synopsis

As progress in cell developmental biology carries on at breakneck speed, new techniques constantly arise to fill the gaps left by traditional strategies. This timely work provides detailed discussion and protocols of some of these new techniques which allow the manipulation of developing organisms such as Drosophila or plants when and where cells interact with each other and influence development. Remarkable innovations have evolved in the identification and functional testing of the molecules which control these cellular behaviors. This book also describes several new ways of hunting for these important proteins involved in cellular communication.

Review

'This volume is a very practical guide to a selection of modern techniques available to laboratory researchers.'
Aslib Book Guide, vol. 59, no. 2, February 1994

'I enjoyed reading this practical approach on cellular interactions in development and found it to be thought provoking. The range of multidisciplinary techniques presented in the book as a whole is impressively close to the 'cutting edge'. This should lead to many incisive experiments
whatever organism is being studied.'
M.V. Taylor, University of Cambridge, BioEssays, Vol. 16, No. 4 - April 1994
