Bioengineering and molecular biology of plant pathways

摘要: The increased knowledge about the structure of genomes in a number species, complexity transcriptomes, and rapid growth mutant phenotypes have set off large scale use transgenes to answer basic biological questions, generate new crops novel products. This volume includes twelve chapters, which variable degrees describe transgenic plants explore possibilities approaches for modification plant metabolism, adaptation or development.The interests authors range from tool development, biochemical know-how engineering enzymes, exploring avenues complex multigenic pathways, include several examples specific pathways different organs developmental stages. title contains Prologue by Paul K. Stumpf Eric E.Conn. It incorporates concepts insights biochemistry biology. provides conceptual framework regarding challenges faced pathways. discusses potential metabolic end-products that are vast economical importance including genetic cellulose, seed storage proteins, edible industrial oils.
