The direct transfer of DNA into plant cells or protoplasts ideal experiment systems for gene transfer is described in detail for various species and model organisms. This manual is intended to be a working tool for researchers interested in applying random amplification fingerprinting methodology. Detailed protocols for each step of both DNA and RNA fingerprinting procedure are provided and, whenever possible, alternative strategies are made available. An international panel of experts in molecular biotechnology has contributed chapters on diverse aspects of DNA markers, from studies of genetic diseases and disease resistance to phylogenetic analysis. I t contains a number of formulas and papers related to the micropropagation of terrestrial orchids.
