Various plant metabolites are useful for human life, and theinduction and reduction of these metabolites using modernbiotechnical technique is of enormous potential importantespecially in the fields of agriculture and health. PlantMetabolism and Biotechnology describes the biosyntheticpathways of plant metabolites, their function in plants, and someapplications for biotechnology. Topics covered include:
* biosynthesis and metabolism of starch and sugars
* lipid biosynthesis
* symbiotic nitrogen fixation
* sulfur metabolism
* nucleotide metabolism
* purine alkaloid metabolism
* nicotine biosynthesis
* terpenoid biosynthesis
* benzylisoquinoline alkaloid biosynthesis
* monoterpenoid indole alkaloid biosynthesis
* flavonoid biosynthesis
* pigment biosynthesis: anthocyanins, betacyanins andcarotenoids
* metabolomics in biotechnology
Plant Metabolism and Biotechnology is an essential guideto this important field for researchers and students ofbiochemistry, plant biology, metabolic engineering, biotechnology,food science, agriculture, and medicine.
