"Plant Biochemistry & Molecular Biology is a major contribution to the plant biology literature, superbly designed and edited by three distinguished plant biologists, Plants, also called green plants are living organisms of the kingdom Plantae including such multicellular groups as flowering plants, conifers, ferns and mosses, as well as, depending on definition, the green algae but not red or brown seaweeds like kelp, nor fungi or bacteria. Green plants have cell walls with cellulose and characteristically obtain most of their energy from sunlight via photosynthesis using chlorophyll contained in chloroplasts, which gives them their green color. Some plants are parasitic and may not produce normal amounts of chlorophyll or photosynthesize. Plants are also characterized by sexual reproduction, modular and indeterminate growth, and an alteration of generations, although asexual reproduction is common, and some plants bloom only once while others bear only one bloom. Molecular Biology continues to make significant progress towards understanding the fundamental molecular events that are at the core of all life. Its goal is to combine the knowledge gained in the many areas of scientific enquiry employed here - from molecular genetics to structural biology to computational biology to name a few - to obtain new insights into the functioning of biomolecules and their role in disease causality. The book is a meticulously organized and richly illustrated work, useful both for teaching and for reference."--Back cover
