This book links the latest advances in molecular genetics with the science and history of plant domestication, the evolution of plant breeding, and the implications of our new knowledge for the agriculture of today and the future.
* Useful to engineers in any industry * Extensive references provided throughout * Comprehensive range of topics covered * Written with practical situations in mind A plant engineer is responsible for a wide range of industrial activities, and may workin any industry. The breadth of knowledge required by such professionals is so wide that previous books addressing plant engineering have either been limited to certain subjects or cursory in their treatment of topics. The Plant Engineer's Reference Bookis the first volume to offer complete coverage of subjects of interest to the plant engineer. This reference work provides a primary source of information for the plant engineer. Subjects includ...

Mitochondria in Higher Plants: Structure, Function, and Biogenesis is a collection and interpretation of information on plant mitochondria. It explains not only the basic enzymology of ATP synthesis coupled to electron transport that seems to constitute the major activity of the mitochondria, but also many other aspects that make plant mitochondria rather more diverse than their animal counterparts. Organized into five chapters, this book begins with the morphological and cytological observations on mitochondria, and proceeding through membrane and matrix functions to participation in metabolism and biogenesis. Each section presents the unique properties of plant mitochondria within the framework of general mitochondrial structure and function. This book is intended not only for research workers and students interested in the enzymology of plant mitochondria respiration, but also for graduate and undergraduate students in the field of plant biochemistry, cell physiology, and molecular biology. It will be useful as a starting point for those students wishing to pursue special studies in this field.
The Biochemistry of Plants: A Comprehensive Treatise, Volume 11: Biochemistry of Metabolism provides information pertinent to the chemical and biochemical aspects of metabolism. This book discusses the control mechanisms of metabolism. Organized into nine chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the history of biochemistry and discusses the developments in the kinetics of regulatory enzymes. This text then examines a theory that explains how subunit interactions modulate the rate of conversion of a substrate into a product. Other chapters consider some relation between cell-wall elongation and cell-wall charge density and explore the subcellular localization of the enzymes of glycolysis. This book discusses as well the regulation of glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway. The final chapter deals with the pathways of C1 metabolism that are of prime importance, as the synthesis of several cellular constituents depends directly or indirectly on folate metabolism. This book is a valuable resource for plant biochemists, neurobiochemists, molecular biologists, senior graduate students, and research workers.
