Forward Genetics

"Forward Genetics" is a specialized book that explores the role of plant hormones in growth and development. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the genetic foundations underlying the hormonal responses of plants. The author, Iskender Tiryaki, uses Arabidopsis thaliana as a model organism to investigate the mechanisms of hormone action. The book is divided into several sections that address different aspects of plant hormone research. The first part focuses on the functions of jasmonic acid and auxin, while the second part discusses modern molecular biological methods for analyzing complex hormone signaling pathways. In the final section, genetic analyses of mutants are conducted to identify new components of the hormone signaling pathways. This book serves as a valuable reference for young researchers looking to navigate this exciting field of study.
