About the Book
Biochemistry today has made spectacular progress in unraveling the mysteries of animate nature. This progress has allowed us to gain deeper insight into the principles of vital activity and has to a very significant extent stimulated the development of applied disciplines, especially medicine. The present title "Plant Biochemistry" is intended for those who wish to understand living organisms, especially man. Plant biochemistry is the study of the chemistry of plants. Plant biochemists study the structure and function of cellular components and chemical reactions that taking place in plants. The tools and techniques of new biology have opened several new and exciting avenues in plant biochemistry. However, these have not been sufficiently tapped by plant scientists, in their rush for cloning, sequencing, tissue culture and transformation. Biotechnology and plant genetics have given us the green revolution, the white (milk) revolution, the yellow (oilseeds) revolution and are now poised to provide solutions in more focused areas. The present publication attempts to provide the students and researcher in the field of biotechnology and plant genetics, the basic approaches and issues involved in the developments and discoveries associated with the science.
