- Protein phosphorylation and
dephosphorylation play key regulatory roles in many aspects of plant
growth, development, and metabolism. These include control of cell
division, pathways of carbon and nitrogen metabolism, and the
transduction of metabolic, hormonal, and environmental signals. This
is a rapidly expanding area of research and this book is the first
attempt to cover all aspects of protein phosphorylation in plants in a
single volume. It includes work from key groups at the forefront of
research in the area, with studies at the biochemical, molecular, and
cell biological levels.
- It is to postdoctoral and
postgraduate researchers starting a project in this area that the
volume will be of most use'
-
- Phytochemistry
- ...provides an excellent overview
into a new and rapidly expanding field of high significance for the
control and regulation of plant metabolism. ... This valuable book can
be recommended to all plant biologists and also graduate students.
