Regulation of Primary Metabolic Pathways in Plants

Regulation of Primary Metabolic Pathways in Plants edited by Nicholas J. Kruger, Steven A. Hill, R. George Ratcliffe.

Over the past decade, advances in molecular biology have provided the impetus for a resurgence of interest in plant metabolism. At a general level, the potential for modifying the quantity or quality of harvestable crop products through genetic manipulation has provided an agronomic rationale for se...
