During the past decade the biological sciences have experienced a period of unprecedented progress, and nowhere is the excitement of this new era more apparent than in the field of plant metabolism. Of course, plant metabolism resort to the tools of biochemistry and molecular biology, and specialists in the other disciplines often conduct physiological experiments. This title has been designed for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students and other researchers in this area taking plant metabolism as a main paper.
