The area of polyamines is presented in this useful, two-volume publication. Basic information describing the role of polyamines in the processes of growth and differentiation is given. Also included are data on the regulation of polyamine biosynthesis and metabolism and their interactions with nucleic acids. Several chapters are devoted to the role of polyamines in various aspects of plant biology, with a special emphasis on their participation in the response of plants to extreme environments. Special attention is given to the use of inhibitors of polyamine biosynthesis as potential antitumor and antiproliferative agents. Additionally, progress in the molecular biology and genetic engineering of genes coding for polyamine biosynthetic enzymes is described. Cancer researchers, biologists, geneticists, biochemists, physiologists, and clinicians will find this volume indispensable.

The 9th International Symposium on Plant Lipid Biochemistry was held at Wye College, Kent, in July 1990. Not only has the scale and scope of the topic expanded since the first biannual meeting in 1974, but there have been giant strides, particularly in the last few years, in our knowledge of the detailed structure and function of plant lipids. Industry has never been slow to recognize the commercial importance of plant lipids and has invested heavily in the new technologies described in this book. Virtually all the laboratories that have contributed to these developments were represented at the meeting, and this volume is a compendium of their individual contributions.
