This book, volume 33 in the series New Comprehensive Biochemistry, provides up-to-date coverage
at an advanced level of a range of topics in the biochemistry and molecular biology of plant hormones,
with particular emphasis on biosynthesis, metabolism and mechanisms of action. Each contribution is
written by acknowledged experts in the field, providing definitive coverage of the field. No other modern
book covers this subject matter at such an advanced level so comprehensively. It will be invaluable to
scientists working in the plant biotechnology industries. The contents include chapters covering the following
topics:
Introduction and Methodology.
