A collection of papers that comprehensively describe the major
areas of research on lipid metabolism of plants. State-of-the-art
knowledge about research on fatty acid and glycerolipid
biosynthesis, isoprenoid metabolism, membrane structure and
organization, lipid oxidation and degradation, lipids as
intracellular and extracellular messengers, lipids and environment,
oil seeds and gene technology is reviewed. The different topics
covered show that modern tools of plant cellular and molecular
biology, as well as molecular genetics, have been recently used to
characterize several key enzymes of plant lipid metabolism (in
particular, desaturases, thioesterases, fatty acid synthetase) and
to isolate corresponding cDNAs and genomic clones, allowing the use
of genetic engineering methods to modify the composition of
membranes or storage lipids. These findings open fascinating
perspectives, both for establishing the roles of lipids in membrane
function and intracellular signalling and for adapting the
composition of seed oil to the industrial needs. This book will be
a good reference source for research scientists, advanced students
and industrialists wishing to follow the considerable progress made
in recent years on plant lipid metabolism and to envision the new
opportunities offered by genetic engineering for the development of
novel oil seeds.
