Temporal and Spatial Regulation of Plant Genes

First attempts to isolate plant genes were for those genes that are abun­ dantly expressed in a particular plant organ at a specific stage of devel­ opment. However, many important gene products are produced in a very minute quantity and in specialized cell types. Such genes can now be isolated usin...
