Manual of CIMMYT laboratory
protocols
The International Maize and
Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) has recently published "Laboratory
protocols: CIMMYT Applied Molecular Genetics Laboratory. Third
edition", edited by M. Warburton, M. William, A. McNab and
D. Poland.
According to the foreword, the
primary motive for compiling and publishing this manual was to
provide scientists, researchers, and students from national
agricultural research systems, universities, and small private
companies in developing countries, as well as advanced research
institutions in the developed world, with a useful guide on the
protocols currently in use in the Applied Molecular Genetics
(AMG) Laboratory of CIMMYT's Applied Biotechnology Center.
The main protocols currently in
use there have to do with molecular marker technology and can be
used for mapping, molecular marker assisted selection, and
studies on genetic diversity.
