Synopsis "molecular systematics of plants ii (in English)"

in the five years since the publication of molecular systematics of plants, the field of molecular systematics has advanced at an astonishing pace. this period has been marked by a volume of new empirical data and advances in theoretical and analytical issues related to dna. comparative dna sequencing, facilitated by the amplification of dna via the polymerase chain reaction (pcr), has become the tool of choice for molecular systematics. as a result, large portions of the molecular systematics of plants have become outdated. molecular systematics of plants ii summarizes these recent achievements in plant molecular systematics. like its predecessor, this completely revised work illustrates the potential of dna markers for addressing a wide variety of phylogenetic and evolutionary questions. the volume provides guidance in choosing appropriate techniques, as well as appropriate genes for sequencing, for given levels of systematic inquiry. more than a review of techniques and previous work, molecular systematics of plants ii provides a stimulus for developing future research in this rapidly evolving field. molecular systematics of plants ii is not only written for systematists (faculty, graduate students, and researchers), but also for evolutionary biologists, botanists, and paleobotanists interested in reviewing current theory and practice in plant molecular systematics.
