Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry edited by Hans-Ferdinand Linskens, John F. Jackson.

Modern Methods of Plant Analysis When the handbook Modern Methods of Plant Analysis was first introduced in 1954 the considerations were: 1. the dependence of scientific progress in biology on the improvement of existing and the introduction of new methods; 2. the difficulty in finding many new anal...
