The volume is devoted to various analyses relating to the commercially used seed of plants including cereals, rice, various legumes, citrus, and almond.The range of methods described comprise protein analyses by electrophoresis, monoclonal antibodies and nuclear magnetic resonance, isozyme analyses, glycolipid analysis, conductivity, surface area, digital image analysis, proteinaceous inhibitions of lipase, physicochemical analysis of starch, and mitochondrial DNA preparation. For those involved in seed industry and seed research as well as for teaching staff and students in agriculture, the book is an invaluable and up-to-date source of information.
