Plant biochemistry is the study of the chemistry of plants. Plant biochemists study the structure and function of cellular components and chemical reactions that taking place in plants. The tools and techniques of new biology have opened several new and exciting avenues in plant biochemistry. However, these have not been sufficiently tapped by plant scientists, in their rush for cloning, sequencing, tissue culture and transformation. This book provides students and researchers in the plant sciences with a concise, up-to-date account of the bio-chemical basis of the major metabolic processes in plants. The emphasis is on plant metabolism, but functional, regulatory, and molecular biological aspects have been covered, as well as illustrations of pathways and structural features. It will be of interest to a wide audience from undergraduates to researchers in the field.
