He also thanks the following for his intellectual development: Dr. W. G. Rosen, Dr. Wm. F. Millington, Dr. D. T. A. Lamport, Dr. J. G. Varner, Dr. L. Margulis, and Dr. M. W. Schein. Dr. Dashek extends his gratitude to Ms. Kim Chancey of the University of Georgia for her patience and thoughtful clerical assistance. Dr. Dashek is grateful to Terry L. Highley, Project Director, Biodeterioration of Wood, U.S. Department of Agriculture - Forest Service, Forest Products Laboratory, for the use of facilities and his encouragement. He also expresses his appreciation to Ms. K. K. Nelson of the Forest Products Laboratory for graphics. Finally, this volume is dedicated to the late Dr. J. E. Varner, who invented methods to advance our knowledge of plant biochemistry. Acknowledgments The staff at CRC Press has been crucial in bringing this project to fruition. My thanks go out to Paul Petralia, Senior Acquisitions Editor, for signing this project; to Cindy Carelli, Editorial Assistant, for her excellent organizational and follow-up skills; and to Carrie Unger, Project Editor, for bringing together the final product in a well-edited, well-presented format. Preface This laboratory manual is designed for the trained scientist performing research in a college, industrial, or federal laboratory. The well-illustrated volume is a convenient assemblage of usable, contemporary research protocols and relevant literature citations covering the full range of plant biochemistry, including selected areas of plant molecular biology. The detailed protocols are presented within the framework of a contributing author's research program, thereby offering insight into implementation of protocols to current plant biochemistry research. Thus, the volume contains a wide variety of contributing authors, reflecting the thinking and expertise of active investigators who generate advances in technology in order to answer significant research questions. In this regard, contributing authors were selected for their ability to create and/or implement novel research methods. While some of the investigators are well-known, established scientists who offer years of valuable laboratory experience, others are at the "outset" of their careers, thus presenting new outlooks on some timely research.
