Within the last twenty-five years tremendous advances have occurred in the field of plant biology. Scientists have created molecular tools and developed Agrobacterium tumefaciens as a vehicle for transferring genes into plants. These breakthroughs have led to the birth of the agricultural, biotechnology industry and the development of genetically engineered foods.

Another advance is the widespread adoption of Arabidopsis thaliana as a model plant for experimental studies. This collaborative research effort led to a flood of scientific discoveries that have significantly improved our understanding of how plants work. A third milestone is the completion of the Arabidopsis genome sequencing effort, which is expected to open the doors to understanding the role of every gene in Arabidopsis and, eventually, in economically important crops such as rice, wheat, and corn. With this knowledge, scientists will then be able to genetically engineer these valuable crops to be more nutritious and more resistant to pests and environmental stresses. With such an explosion of new information, there was a need for a contemporary textbook that incorporated all of these advances. The leadership of the American Society of Plant Biologists recognized this need and enlisted the help of Drs. Bob Buchanan, Wilhelm Gruissem, and Russell Jones to edit and release Biochemistry & Molecular Biology of Plants.

This 1,406-page textbook was written by 53 experts and is intended for an audience of upper level undergraduates and graduate students, as well as serving as a reference tool for professional plant biologists. The textbook contains over 1,000 color illustrations and 500 photographs and is divided into 24 chapters. Download free havij v115 pro cracked by hmilylcg 0. The first 20 chapters of the text cover the traditional topics discussed in plant biochemistry courses such as the cell, energy, and metabolism. The last four chapters describe the response of plants to the environment and how such knowledge may be used to address agricultural and environmental problems. Two of the twenty-four chapters were co-authored by scientists at Michigan State University (MSU). Chapter 4 is entitled 'Protein Sorting and Vesicle Traffic' and was written by Drs. Natasha Raikhel (MSU) and Maarten Chrispeels.

The chapter is 42 pages long and contains 31 figures, 6 boxes, and 3 tables. This chapter begins with a description of how protein sorting requires domains that act as 'address labels' to direct proteins to the correct location within a cell. The authors then elaborate in more detail how specific proteins are sorted to plastids, mitochondria, peroxisomes, or the nucleus, as well as describe the secretory pathway by which proteins are transported within vesicles 'like cargo in containers' to the endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, vacuole, and/or plasma membrane. Although the use of these creative analogies emphasizes the didactic nature of this chapter, chapter 4 could be improved with regard to the boxes. To be consistent, box 4.2 should be referred to in the text, and boxes 4.1 and 4.5 should be placed closer to the pages where they are described in the chapter.

These minor weaknesses can be easily remedied, however, in the next edition. Chapter 10, entitled 'Lipids,' was authored by Drs.

Chris Somerville, John Browse, Jan Jaworski, and John Ohlrogge of Michigan State University. This chapter is 71 pages long and includes 75 figures, 7 reactions, 5 tables, and 4 boxes. The chapter begins with a description of the different kinds of lipids that plants produce and an explanation of how fatty acids are made. The latter section includes 'reactions' that have small inserts which show the reader the relationship of each specific reaction to the overview of fatty acid synthesis.

It is not clear, however, why the authors designated reaction 10.1 also as a figure. To be consistent, the illustration should be labeled only as a reaction. The synthesis and function of membrane lipids is also included in this chapter in which the authors describe a number of examples--such as how lipid composition affects freezing tolerance--which help the reader to understand the relationship between structure and function.
