The increased knowledge about the structure of genomes in a number
of species, about the complexity of transcriptomes, and the rapid
growth in knowledge about mutant phenotypes have set off the large
scale use of transgenes to answer basic biological questions, and
to generate new crops and novel products. This volume includes
twelve chapters, which to variable degrees describe the use of
transgenic plants to explore possibilities and approaches for the
modification of plant metabolism, adaptation or development. The
interests of the authors range from tool development, to basic
biochemical know-how about the engineering of enzymes, to exploring
avenues for the modification of complex multigenic pathways, and
include several examples for the engineering of specific pathways
in different organs and developmental stages.
* Prologue by Paul K. Stumpf and Eric E. Conn
* Incorporates new concepts and insights in plant biochemistry and
biology
* Provides a conceptual framework regarding the challenges faced in
engineering pathways
* Discusses potential in engineering of metabolic end-products that
are of vast economical importance, including genetic engineering of
cellulose, seed storage proteins, and edible and industrial oils
