Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 8
In the last few years, the new analytical tools associated with
molecular biology, biochemistry, spectroscopy, microscopy,
immunology, genomics and proteomics have been employed to
investigate plant cell wall structure and function, providing a
degree of resolution that was, until recently, unattainable. This
has resulted in a growing awareness of the critical role of plant
cell walls in a broad range of developmental events, adding
strength and diversity to cell wall-related scientific
research.
This volume provides an overview of our current understanding of
plant cell walls, drawing on the recent advances of plant molecular
biology. It incorporates the identification of a rapidly growing
number of genes and the proteins responsible for plant wall
synthesis, restructuring, degradation and wall-associated signal
transduction. The book bridges the biochemistry-oriented cell wall
literature and the new technology-driven approaches.
This is a book for academic and industrial researchers in plant
cell biology, biochemistry, developmental biology, genetics and
molecular biology.
