These volumes contain an excellent, up-to-date review of the
rapidly developing field of photosynthesis research. They comprise
the proceedings of the Ninth International Congress on
Photosynthesis, held in Nagoya, Japan, in 1992, which was the first
in the series to be held in Asia. The Congress was attended by over
1000 active participants from 43 countries, who contributed plenary
lectures, symposium talks, posters and discussions. The volumes
contain most of these contributions, in the form of review papers
and short communications, assembled in 26 chapters, which cover a
wide variety of subjects, such as: fundamental aspects, excitation
energy transfer, primary reactions, bioenergetic processes, carbon
metabolism, and its metabolic and genetic regulations; applied
aspects, herbicides and artificial photosynthesis, and
environmental aspects, photosynthesis under stress conditions and
global climate change. Research in Photosynthesis is therefore an
important document, containing the latest high-level information
about photosynthesis in its broadest sense. The four volumes are a
valuable reference source. Furthermore, the volumes are important
for background study for those enetering this exciting and
promising field of investigation.
Lipids in Photosynthesis provides readers with a comprehensive view
of the structure, function and genetics of lipids in plants, algae
and bacteria, with special emphasis on the photosynthetic apparatus
in thylakoid membranes. This volume includes the historical
background of the field, as well as a full review of our current
understanding of the structure and molecular organization of lipids
and their role in the functions of photosynthetic membranes. The
physical properties of membrane lipids in thylakoid membranes and
their relationship to photosynthesis are also discussed. Other
topics include the biosynthesis of glycerolipids and triglycerides;
reconstitution of photosynthetic structures and activities with
lipids; lipid-protein interactions in the import of proteins into
chloroplasts; the development of thylakoid membranes as it relates
to lipids; genetic engineering of the unsaturation of membrane
glycerolipids, with a focus on the ability of the photosynthetic
machinery to tolerate temperature stress; and the involvement of
chloroplast lipids in the reactions of plants upon exposure to
stress. This book is intended for a wide audience and should be of
interest to advanced undergraduate and graduate students and to
researchers active in the field, as well as to those scientists
whose fields of specialization include the biochemistry,
physiology, molecular biology, biophysics and biotechnology of
membranes.
The 15th International Symposium on Plant Lipids was held in
Okazaki, Japan, in May 12th to 17th, 2002, at the Okazaki
Conference Center. The Symposium was organized by the Japanese
Organizing Committee with the cooperation of the Japanese
Association of Plant Lipid Researchers. The International Symposium
was successful with 225 participants from 29 countries. We
acknowledge a large number of participants from Asian countries, in
particular, from China, Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand and the
Philippines, presumably because this was the fIrst time that the
International Symposium on Plant Lipids was held in Asia. We also
acknowledge a number of scientists from Canada, France, Germany, UK
and USA, where plant lipid research is traditionally very active.
The Symposium provided an opportunity for presentation and
discussion of 68 lectures and 93 posters in 11 scientific sessions,
which together covered all aspects of plant lipid researches, such
as the structure, analysis, biosynthesis, regulation, physiological
function, environmental aspects, and the biotechnology of plant
lipids. In memory of the founder of this series of symposia, the
Terry Galliard Lecture was delivered by Professor Ernst Heinz from
Universitat: Hamburg, Germany. In addition, special lectures were
given by two outstanding scientists from animal lipid fields,
Professor James Ntambi from University of Wisconsin, USA, and Dr.
Masahiro Nishijima from the National Institute for Infectious
Diseases, Japan. To our great honor and pleasure, the session of
Lipid Biosynthesis was chaired by Dr.
