Plant Biochemistry, Fifth Edition, enables students to gain basic
knowledge of the entire field, from photosynthesis to genetic
engineering and its many commercial applications. Topics include
cell structure and function of isoprenoids, phenylpropanoids and
other secondary metabolites, and plant growth regulation and
development. The text covers recent research findings and
identifies areas of future research. This book is suitable for
graduate students and advanced undergraduates in plant physiology,
plant pathology, plant cell biology, and other plant sciences,
researchers in industries actively involved in agribusiness, other
biotechnology enterprises, and researchers in agronomy,
agriculture, plant development and related areas.
The fully revised and expanded fourth edition of Plant Biochemistry
presents the latest science on the molecular mechanisms of plant
life. The book not only covers the basic principles of plant
biology, such as photosynthesis, primary and secondary metabolism,
the function of phytohormones, plant genetics, and plant
biotechnology, but it also addresses the various commercial
applications of plant biochemistry. Plant biochemistry is not only
an important field of basic science explaining the molecular
function of a plant, but is also an applied science that is in the
position to contribute to the solution of agricultural and
pharmaceutical problems. Plants are the source of important
industrial raw material such as fat and starch but they are also
the basis for the production of pharmaceutics. It is expected that
in the future, gene technology will lead to the extensive use of
plants as a means of producing sustainable raw material for
industrial purposes. As such, the techniques and use of genetic
engineering to improve crop plants and to provide sustainable raw
materials for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries are
described in this edition. The latest research findings have been
included, and areas of future research are identified.
