Plant Biochemistry focuses on the molecular and cellular aspects of
each major metabolic pathway and sets these within the context of
the whole plant. Using examples from biomedical, environmental,
industrial and agricultural applications, it shows how a
fundamental understanding of plant biochemistry can be used to
address real-world issues. It illustrates how plants impact human
activity and success, in terms of their importance as a food supply
and as raw materials for industrial and pharmaceutical products,
and considers how humans can benefit from exploiting plant
biochemical pathways. 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 artwork, now in
full color, superbly illustrates the key concepts and mechanisms
presented throughout. Key features: Presents each topic from the
cellular level to the ecological and environmental levels, placing
it in the context of the whole plant. Biochemical pathways are
represented as route maps, showing how one reaction interacts with
another both within and across pathways. Includes comprehensive
reading lists with descriptive notes to enable students to conduct
their own research into topics they wish to explore further The
wide-ranging approach of this book emphasizes the importance of
teaching and learning plant biochemical pathways within the
framework of what the pathway does and why it is needed.
Illustrates the fundamental significance of plants, in terms of
their importance as a food supply, as raw materials and as sources
of novel products. Plant Biochemistry is invaluable to
undergraduate students who wish to gain insight into the relevance
of plant metabolism in relation to current research questions and
world challenges. It should also prove to be a suitable reference
text for graduates and researchers who are new to the topic or who
wish to broaden their understanding of the range of biochemical
pathways in plants.
