About this book

Lipids in Photosynthesis: Essential and Regulatory Functions, edited by two distinguished International scientists, Hajime Wada and Norio Murata, provides an essential summary of an exciting decade of research on relationships between lipids and photosynthesis. Lipids in Photosynthesis: Essential and Regulatory Functions brings together extensively cross-referenced and peer-reviewed chapters by prominent researchers. The topics covered include the structure, molecular organization and biosynthesis of fatty acids, glycerolipids and nonglycerolipids in plants, algae, lichens, mosses, and cyanobacteria, as well as in chloroplasts and mitochondria.

Several chapters deal with the manipulation of the extent of unsaturation of fatty acids and the effects of such manipulation on photosynthesis and responses to various forms of stress. The final chapters focus on lipid trafficking, signaling and advanced analytical techniques. Ten years ago, Siegenthaler and Murata edited "Lipids in Photosynthesis: Structure, Function and Genetics," which became a classic in the field. The new volume, "Lipids in Photosynthesis: Essential and Regulatory Functions," belongs, beside its predecessor, on every plant and microbiological researcher's bookcase.
