Download or read book Annual Plant Reviews Control of Primary Metabolism in Plants written by William Plaxton and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to control the rates of metabolic processes in response to changes in the internal or external environment is an indispensable attribute of living cells that must have arisen with life’s origin. This adaptability is necessary for conserving the stability of the intracellular environment which is, in turn, essential for maintaining an efficient functional state. The advent of genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics has revolutionised the study of plant development and is now having a significant impact on the study of plant metabolism and its control. In the last few years, significant advances have been made, with the elucidation of enzyme gene families and the identification of new proteinaceous and allosteric regulators. The first part of this volume is devoted to generic aspects of metabolic control, with chapters on the key control points in pathways. Part Two considers the control of specific pathways, with detailed descriptions (including structures) and discussions of the regulation of these pathways, particularly in terms of the enzymology. The book is directed at researchers and professionals in plant biochemistry, physiology, molecular biology and cell biology.

This book was released on 2011-06-09 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of plant nitrogen metabolism continues to be a compelling focus for basic research activities because there is a strong demand for immediate solutions, particularly in key areas, such as improving plant nitrogen use efficiency, which are crucial to future agricultural sustainability and the future economic success of agriculture. The 13 reviews which comprise this excellent and carefully edited new volume bring together the expertise and enthusiasm of an international team of leading researchers. Topics covered include nitrogen sensing and signalling, uptake and membrane systems, nitric oxide, primary nitrogen assimilation and C/N balance and interactions, and regulation of root and plant architecture. Together, these reviews provide an insight into how plants sense, uptake and assimilate nitrogen into the organic compounds required for growth, co-ordinate nitrogen and carbon metabolism and regulate growth and development according to nitrogen availability. The transcription factors that act to integrate environmental nutrient (nitrogen) signals to co-ordinate primary and secondary metabolism are discussed, together with new concepts of cross-talk, transport and signalling, and how such molecular networks influence nitrogen and carbon cycling processes in the environment. Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 42: Nitrogen Metabolism in Plants in the Post-genomic Era is an essential purchase for advanced students, researchers and professionals in plant sciences, biochemistry, physiology, molecular biology, genetics and agricultural sciences, working in the academic and industrial sectors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 13 Plastids are essential plant organelles, vital for life on earth. They are important not just as photosynthetic organelles (chloroplasts) but also as sites involved in many fundamental intermediary metabolic pathways. Over the last decade, plastid research has seen tremendous advances and an exciting new picture is emerging of how plastids develop and function inside plant cells. The recent and rapid progress in the field has been due largely to reverse genetic approaches and forward genetic screening programs, which have resulted in the dissection of numerous chloroplast protein-function relationships. This book provides an overview of the current state of the art. It is directed at researchers and professionals in plant physiology, cell biology, genetics, molecular biology and biochemistry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proteome comprises all protein species resulting from geneexpression in a cell, organelle, tissue or organism. By definition,proteomics aims to identify and characterise the expressionpattern, cellular location, activity, regulation,post-translational modifications, molecular interactions, threedimensional structures and functions of each protein in abiological system. In plant science, the number of proteome studies is rapidlyexpanding after the completion of the Arabidopsis thaliana genomesequence, and proteome analyses of other important or emergingmodel systems and crop plants are in progress or are beinginitiated. Proteome analysis in plants is subject to the sameobstacles and limitations as in other organisms, but the nature ofplant tissues, with their rigid cell walls and complex variety ofsecondary metabolites, means that extra challenges are involvedthat may not be faced when analysing other organisms. This volume aims to highlight the ways in which proteome analysishas been used to probe the complexities of plant biochemistry andphysiology. It is aimed at researchers in plant biochemistry,genomics, transcriptomics and metabolomics who wish to gain anup-to-date insight into plant proteomes, the information plantproteomics can yield and the directions plant proteome research istaking.
