The book is well arranged and printed. Many illustrations and blue boxes highlighting an area that merits a particular attention make sophisticated text readable. This very useful textbook certainly find place on the shelves of many students as well as their teachers. Biologia Plantarum "! I very much appreciated this text book because it presents an updated source of basic knowledge on plant biochemistry, taking benefit from the recent advances in "omics"! This is clearly a textbook to recommend to students and their teachers." Plant Science "These authors have provided a useful reference text for students and researchers." Biologist
