Plant Biochemistry provides students and researchers in the plant scence with a concise, up-to-date account of the biochemical basis of the major metabolic processes in plants, written by experts in the field. The coverage of the subject is divided into four sections : 1. The plant cell-describing both molecular components and function. 2. Primary metabolism- including the pathways of carbohydrate, lipid. nitrogen, nucleic acid and protein metabolism as well as gene regulation. 3. Special metabolism-chapters on phenolics, isoprenoids and secondery nitrogen compounds. 4. The plant and the environment- discussions of pathology, ecology and biotechnology at the molecular level. The emphasis is on plant metabolism, but functional, regulatory, and molecular biological aspects have been covered, as well as illustrations of pathways, structural featuresm and bibliographies. This book will be of interest to a wide audiencd from final year undergraduate to active researchers in the field. * CONTENTS : The plant, the cell and its molecular components.
