Plant Carbohydrate Biochemistry serves the urgent need to review the exciting developments and increasing research interest in this area, placing these within the context of our broader understanding of carbohydrate metabolism in higher plants. Plant Carbohydrate Biochemistry provides an integrated collection of definitive assessments, and synthesizes the disparate information appearing in primary research publications. The contributors to Plant Carbohydrate Biochemistry are established plant biochemists and physiologists chosen as much for their lucid exposition as for their scientific eminence.
- The first will be last and the last will be first: non-regulated enzymes call the tune?
- Modelling metabolic pathways and analysing control
- Carbohydrate: where does it come from, where does it go?
- The metabolism of sugars based upon sucrose
- Regulation
"[...] the volume provides a remarkably wide view of current research in the field. ..the volume is carefully edited and the production quality is excellent."
– Plant Growth Regulation
"It is indeed a very useful book, one that will prove valuable to those interested by this topic but not necessarily working with it. In this respect this biochemistry book fills a gap and will be useful to a very general readership."
