Photosynthesis : the light reaction -- Carbon dioxide fixation -- Storage and utilization of fixed carbon -- Primary cell walls -- Nitrogen and sulfur metabolism -- Lipids -- Isoprenoid compounds (terpenes) -- Aromatic and phenolic ...
All chapters in this second edition have been substantially revised to incorporate the latest research developments, and case studies include updates on progress in developing novel plants and plant products.
The biochemistry of plants is distinct from that of other organisms for two main reasons: they are autotrophic and sessile. Plants can’t move away from environmental stress or predation, so...
The book not only covers the basic principles of plant biology, such as photosynthesis, primary and secondary metabolism, the function of phytohormones, plant genetics, and plant biotechnology, but it also addresses the various commercial ...
This book is a valuable resource for biochemists and plant biologists as well as advanced students or professional workers in plant sciences.
This book is aimed at helping the analyst with respect to analysis of samples, mainly, plant material. The book is divided into two parts. o The first part deals with the different techniques involved in the biochemical analysis.
The book will be helpful to a wide range of audience peoples; readers, scientists, researchers and allied professionals.
Plant Biochemistry provides students and researchers in plant sciences with a concise general account of plant biochemistry. The edited format allows recognized experts in plant biochemistry to contribute chapters on their special topics.
The text then elaborates on basic metabolism. Enzymology, the path of carbon in respiratory metabolism, mono- and oligosaccharides, starch, insulin, and other reserve polysaccharides, and the biogenesis of the cell wall are discussed.
