Biochemistry Molecular Biology of Plants is a major contribution to the plant sciences literature,
edited by three distinguished scientists, Bob B. Buchanan, Wilhelm Gruissem, and Russell L. Jones,
with contributions from more than 50 world-renowned scientists. With over 1,400 pages, 1,100 full-colour
original drawings and 500 photographs this work serves as a good reference both for plant biologists and
for scientists from other disciplines who are now involved in plant biology.
This book is meticulously organised and richly illustrated, useful both for teaching and for reference.
The multi-authored work provides a contemporary view of its subject, including molecular biology,
cell biology, and plant physiology, integrated around the themes of:
- compartmentation
- cell reproduction
- energetics
- metabolism
- development
This work will be of value to:
- Plant biologists and scientists in related fields
- Teachers in departments of plant biology, plant biochemistry, plant physiology, and related fields
- Graduate and upper-level undergraduate students of plant biology
- Researchers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and agribusiness industries
