Over the past decade, advances in molecular biology have provided
the impetus for a resurgence of interest in plant metabolism. At a
general level, the potential for modifying the quantity or quality
of harvestable crop products through genetic manipulation has
provided an agronomic rationale for seeking a greater understanding
of primary plant metabolism and its regulation. Moreover, the now
facile techniques for transformation of many plant species and the
consequential capacity to manipulate the amounts of specific
individual enzymes within specific cell types provides an exciting
direct approach for studying metabolic problems. Such transgenic
plants are also becoming invaluable tools in studies at the
interface between metabolism and other sub-disciplines such as
physiology and ecology. The interest generated in plant metabolism
by these developments has also encouraged the re-introduction of
more conventional biochemical techniques for metabolic analysis.
Finally, in common with other areas of cell biology, the wealth of
information that can be obtained at the nucleic acid level has
provided the stimulus for identification and characterisation of
metabolic processes in far greater detail than previously
envisaged. The result of these advances it that researchers now
have the confidence to address problems in plant metabolism at
levels not previously attempted. This book presents the proceedings
of an international conference held on 9-11 January 1997 at St
Hugh's College, Oxford under the auspices of the Phytochemical
Society of Europe.
