Plant Biochemistry and Molecular Biology lucidly explains both the basic principles of plant metabolism and its many applications in commerce and agriculture. Accessible to undergraduates, this major new textbook provides a thorough grounding in the subject to an advanced level, covering photosynthesis, primary and secondary metabolism, the function of phytohormones, and molecular engineering. Topics include cell structure and function, glycerolipids, photoassimilation, polysaccharide metabolism, nitrogen fixation, phloem transport, plant storage proteins and protein biosynthesis, natural pesticides, the roles of isoprenoids and phenlypropanoids, plant growth regulation and development, and plant cell genetics and gene technology. It also describes many practical commercial applications of plant biochemistry, molecular biology, and biotechnology, such as the use of genetic engineering to improve crop plants and to provide sustainable raw materials for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The latest research findings have been included wherever possible, and areas of future research are identified. Full references to the scientific literature are also included. Plant Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is ideal for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in plant sciences, biochemistry and molecular biology, environmental sciences, and agriculture.

This fully revised translation of the world-renowned German edition covers the complete and modern knowledge of plant biochemistry. The book presents the topic in a concise and simplified manner so that students can digest the message and gain a basic knowledge of the entire field of plant biochemistry, from photosynthesis (the synthesis of natural plant products) to all kinds of genetic engineering with its many commercial applications. Topics include cell structure and function, lipid and polysaccharide metabolism, nitrogen fixation, phloem transport, synthesis and function of isoprenoid
