Plant Biochemistry [PART 2]
This textbook is written for students and is the product of more than three decades of my teaching experience. It intends to give a broad but concise overview of the various aspects of plant biochemistry, including molecular biology. I have attached importance to an easily understood description of the principles of metabolism but also have restricted the content in such a way that a student is not distracted by unnecessary details. In view of the importance of plant biotechnology, industrial applications of plant biochemistry have been pointed out wherever appropriate. Thus, special attention has been given to the generation and utilization of transgenic plants.
Since there are many excellent textbooks on general biochemistry, I have deliberately omitted dealing with elements such as the structure and function of amino acids, carbohydrates, and nucleotides; the function of nucleic acids as carriers of genetic information; and the structure and function of proteins and the basis of enzyme catalysis. I have dealt with topics of general biochemistry only when it seemed necessary for enhancing understanding of the problem in hand. Thus, this book is, in the end, a compromise between a general textbook and a specialized textbook.
