Plastids are the sites of conversion of solar energy into the
chemical energy usable to sustain life. They are also responsible
for the production of the vast majority of the oxygen in the
atmosphere. Through these activities they play a unique role in the
biosphere, producing two critical products upon which life on Earth
depends. It covers in 21 chapters nearly all actively investigated
areas of plastid biology, from biosynthesis to function to their
uses in biotechnology. The editors have compiled an extensive list
of international experts from whom to solicit chapters. As is
evident from the suggested Table of Contents, the book will start
with a discussion of genetic material and its expression, followed
by differentiation and development of different plastid types and
internal organization. This is followed by an in depth look at
biogenesis and assembly of plastid proteins and protein complexes
and then by the important metabolic functions in plastids. The book
will end with two chapters discussing the role of plastid biology
in protein expression biotechnology and in hydrogen and biofuel
production.
