The Structure and Function
Of Plastids
Edited by
Robert R. Wise,
and
J.
[Series Editor: GOVINDJEE (gov@uiuc.edu)]
The Structure and Function of Plastids is Volume 23 in the Advances in Photosynthesis and
Respiration Series. This volume provides a comprehensive look at the biology of
plastids, the multifunctional biosynthetic factories that are unique to plants
and algae. Fifty-nine international experts have contributed 27 chapters that
cover all aspects of this large and diverse family of plant and algal
organelles. The book is divided into five sections: (I): Plastid Origin and
Development; (II): The Plastid Genome and Its Interaction with the Nuclear
Genome; (III): Photosynthetic Metabolism in Plastids; (IV): Non-Photosynthetic
Metabolism in Plastids; (V): Plastid Differentiation and Response to
Environmental Factors. Each chapter includes an integrated view of plant
biology from the standpoint of the plastid.The book
is intended for a wide audience, but is specifically designed for advanced
undergraduate and graduate students and scientists in the fields of photosynthesis,
biochemistry, molecular biology, physiology, and plant biology.
