In February, 1974, an 'International Workshop on Membrane Transport
in Plants' was held at the Nuclear Research Centre, JLiI ich, West
Germany. More than two hundred and fifty people, from fourteen
countries, took part in this highly successful meeting. A somewhat
similar meeting took place in Liverpool, England, two years ago and
it became clear there that progress in the field of membrane
transport in plants was now so marked that a second, and wider,
meeting in Germany was more than fully justified. The members of
our pro gramme committee (U. Zimmermann, Chairman, JLilich (FRG);
J. Dainty, Toronto (Canada); F. FLihr, JLilich (FRG); N.
Higinbotham, Pullman, Wa. (USA); A. B. Hope, Adelaide (Australia);
A. Lev, Leningrad (USSR); U. LLittge, Darmstadt (FRG); HW.
NLirnberg, JLilich (FRG); E. A. C. MacRobb-ie, Cambridge (UK); H.
Stieve, JLilich (FRG); M. Thellier, Rouen (France); K. Wagener,
JLilich (FRG)) decided on a broad spectrum of topics including
thermodynamics of transport processes, water relations, primary
reactions of photosynthesis, as well as the more conventional
aspects of membrane transport. They were thus, for instance,
particularly concerned to bring advanced thermodynamical concepts
to the attention of biologists and to show physical chemists what
the more complex biological systems were like. We have taken
considerable editorial liberty with the manuscripts submitted for
this book, for we were very conscious of the necessity to make all
papers understandable by as wide a circle of readers as possible."
