Plant Biochemistry - Hardcover

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Plant Biochemistry provides students and researchers in the plant sciences with a concise, up-to-date account of the biochemical basis of the major metabolic processes in plants, written by experts in the field.
@introbul:The coverage of the subject is divided into four sections:
@bul:* The plant cell-describing both molecular components and function.
* Primary metabolism-including the pathways of carbohydrate, lipid, nitrogen, nucleic acid and protein metabolism as well as gene regulation.
* Special metabolism-chapters on phenolics, isoprenoids and secondary nitrogen compounds.
* The plant and the environment-discussions of pathology, ecology and biotechnology at the molecular level.
@text:The emphasis is on plant metabolism, but functional, regulatory, and molecular biological aspects have been covered, as well as illustrations of pathways, structural features, and bibliographies. This book will be of interest to a wide audience from final year undergraduates to active researchers in the field.
