Annual Plant Reviews, The Plant Cell Wall
Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 8 In the last few years, the new analytical tools associated withmolecular biology, biochemistry, spectroscopy, microscopy,immunology, genomics and proteomics have been employed toinvestigate plant cell wall structure and function, providing adegree of resolution that was, until recently, unattainable. Thishas resulted in a growing awareness of the critical role of plantcell walls in a broad range of developmental events, addingstrength and diversity to cell wall-related scientificresearch. This volume provides an overview of our current understanding ofplant cell walls, drawing on the recent advances of plant molecularbiology. It incorporates the identification of a rapidly growingnumber of genes and the proteins responsible for plant wallsynthesis, restructuring, degradation and wall-associated signaltransduction. The book bridges the biochemistry-oriented cell wallliterature and the new technology-driven approaches. This is a book for academic and industrial researchers in plantcell biology, biochemistry, developmental biology, genetics andmolecular biology.
Crop Improvement by Omics and Bioinformatics
Crop improvement has been continuously driven by the demand for food security and sustainability. The caloric and nutritional needs of a growing world population require that global food production increase by one billion tons over the next few decades, but the current growth rate falls far short. Moreover, rapid changes in the environment are accelerating land degradation, aggravating pests and diseases, introducing extreme stresses, and reducing crop productivity. Genetic technologies and molecular breeding tools offer novel opportunities for modern crop breeding. In the past few decades, remarkable progress has been achieved in the discovery of genes for crop yield, quality, and resistance and in the dissection of plant molecular mechanisms. With the continuous advancement in sequencing technology, molecular markers, and gene editing, a large number of excellent crop varieties have been cultivated.
The Molecular Biology and Biochemistry of Fruit Ripening
A comprehensive and mechanistic perspective on fruit ripening, emphasizing commonalities and differences between fruit groups and ripening processes. Fruits are an essential part of the human diet and contain important phytochemicals that provide protection against heart disease and cancers. Fruit ripening is of importance for human health and for industry-based strategies to harness natural variation, or genetic modification, for crop improvement. This book covers recent advances in the field of plant genomics and how these discoveries can be exploited to understand evolutionary processes and the complex network of hormonal and genetic control of ripening. The book explains the physiochemic...
Sub-cellular Proteomics
Whilst significant advances have been made in whole organismal proteomics approaches, many researchers still rely on combinations of tissue selection and subcellular prefractionation methods to reduce the complexity of protein extracts from plants prior to proteomic analysis. Often this will allow identification of many lower abundance proteins of the target proteome and it may involve the selection of specific organs, cell types or the isolation of specific subcellular components. These subcellular proteomes provide insight into functions following various treatments and also contribute to the wider understanding of the entire organismal proteome by cataloguing a series of sub-proteome contents. The aim of this Research Topic is to bring together knowledge of sub cellular components in different plant species to provide a basis for accelerated research. It aims to provide a mini-review for each proposed section that summarizes the current understanding of a particular proteome, with the anticipation that every 5 - 10 years we can update these definitive publications.
The Fruit Hunters
A historical account of the role of fruit in the modern world explores the machinations of multi-national corporations in distributing exotic fruits, the life of mass-produced fruits, and the author's experience with unusual varieties that are unavailable in America.
Annual Plant Reviews, Endogenous Plant Rhythms
Our knowledge of the circadian clock in plants has advancedconsiderably in recent years and we now have a clearer view of thebiochemical processes making up its mechanism. Recent work providesinsight into the central role played by the circadian system in theregulation of many aspects of metabolism. The multiple systemsinvolved in photoreception have been determined, leading to anunderstanding of how light entrains the internal biological clockto the natural cycle of day and night, and how this impacts on keyevents in the plant lifecycle, such as the photoperiodic regulationof flowering. This book provides a contemporary overview of endogenous plantrhythms for researchers and professionals in the plant sciences. Itwill also serve as a valuable source of reference for the widercircadian community.
Annual Plant Reviews, Control of Primary Metabolism in Plants
The ability to control the rates of metabolic processes in response to changes in the internal or external environment is an indispensable attribute of living cells that must have arisen with life’s origin. This adaptability is necessary for conserving the stability of the intracellular environment which is, in turn, essential for maintaining an efficient functional state. The advent of genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics has revolutionised the study of plant development and is now having a significant impact on the study of plant metabolism and its control. In the last few years, significant advances have been made, with the elucidation of enzyme gene families and the identification of...
