Biochemistry & molecular biology of plants

Biochemistry & Molecular Biology of Plants is a major contribution to the plant biology literature, superbly designed and edited by three distinguished plant biologists, Bob B. Buchanan, Wilhelm Gruissem, and Russell L. Jones. Based on the contributions of leading specialists in the field, this book provides a contemporary view of its subjects integrated around the themes of compartmentation, cell reproduction, energetics, metabolism, and development

The book is a meticulously organized and richly illustrated work, useful both for teaching and for reference. It is intended to serve plant biology and related disciplines, ranging from molecular biology and biotechnology to biochemistry, cell biology, physiology, and ecology. Researchers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and agribusiness industries will find a wealth of information inside.

A CD ROM of all illustrative matter in the book is available separately.
