The Handbook of Plant Metabolomics. Molecular Plant Biology

John Wiley and Sons Ltd, April 2013, Pages: 448

This is the newest title in the successful Molecular Plant Biology Handbook Series. Just like the other titles in the series this new book presents an excellent overview of different approaches and techniques in Metabolomics. Contributors are either from ivy–league research institutions or from companies developing new technologies in this dynamic and fast–growing field. With its approach to introduce current techniques in plant metabolomics to a wider audience and with many labs and companies considering to introduce metabolomics for their research, the title meets a growing market. The Kahl books are in addition a trusted brand for the plant science community and have always sold above expectations.

Günter Kahl is Professor for Plant Molecular Biology at the Biocenter of Johann Wolfgang Goethe–University of Frankfurt am Main, Germany. After gaining his Ph.D. in plant biochemistry, he spent two postdoctoral years at Michigan State University, East Lansing (USA), joining Professor Joe Varner and Professor James Bonner at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California. His main research interests focus on – Gene Technology, in particular the genetic and physical mapping as well as isolation and characterization of plant defence genes and their promoters, and the use of in vitro modified defence genes for the improvement of plant crops via gene transfer. – Genome Analysis, in particular the development of molecular marker , technologies and informative DNA markers for genomic fingerprinting, the establishment of genetic and physical maps, and the map–based cloning of agronomically important genes. – Gene Expression Profiling of plant and animal tissues with expression microarrays and the patented high–throughput SuperSAGE technology. Development of expression markers and determination of expression phenotypes. Due to the international nature of his work, Professor Kahl cooperates with a series of research institutions throughout Europe, Japan, the USA, Syria, India, Central and South America. Additionally, he is organizing a series of molecular marker courses in Austria, South America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. He has served in expert missions for IAEA, FAO and UNESCO around the world. Professor Kahl is the author of more than 250 scientific journal publications and several book publications including all titles of the successful book series `Molecular Plant Biology Handbook series?, and currently holds the CSO position at GenXPro GmbH, a company specializing in novel technologies in genomics and transcriptomics, located at the Frankfurt Innovation Centre for Biotechnology (FIZ), Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
