Brodelius, both at Lund University, Sweden
- Plant cell membranes regulate nutrient
uptake, act as receptors for environmental signals, protect the cell
against pathogen attack, and catalyze energy-conserving processes in
the mitochondria and the chloroplasts. This book contains twenty-three
chapters by specialists in various aspects of plant membrane biology,
providing a view of new and recent developments in the field.
