Plant Lipids

Beschreibung

New research tools have revealed many surprising aspects of thedynamic nature of lipids and their participation in processes suchas recognition, intra- and inter-cellular signalling, deterrenceand defence against pathogens, membrane trafficking and proteinfunction. This is in addition to new information on the moreestablished roles of plant lipids as structural components ofmembranes and as long-term storage products. Plant lipids are alsoincreasingly being seen as sources of a new generation ofenvironmentally friendly, biodegradable and renewable industrialproducts, including biopolymers and high grade lubricants. This volume provides a broad overview of plant lipid researchand its many applications, linking the various disciplines andproviding an interesting and wide-ranging perspective on thisfast-moving field. Extensive lists of references are provided,totalling well over two thousand non-redundant citations andoffering a point of entry to the detailed literature. This is a book for researchers and professionals in plantbiochemistry, molecular biology, biotechnology and genetics, inboth the academic and industrial sectors.

"...this volume provides a review of recent advances of someessential aspects in the biochemistry, molecular biology andbiotechnology of plant lipids." (Hartmut Lichtenthaler, Insitituteof Botany, University of Karlsruhe, Germany in Journal of PlantPhysiology 162 (2005)) "(the book)...guarantees topical reviews, which are neededfor the scientific community especially for those newly startingtheir research in one of the covered fields."
