Table Of Content

Photosynthetic plant cells are compartmentalised into subcellular organelles such as chloroplasts, mitochondria, peroxisomes, the cytosol and the vacuole. Although this compartmentation serves to isolate particular functions to particu lar subcellular locations, the successful metabolic activity of the cell is actually dependent on a controlled and coordinated interaction between these organelles. In this book, leading scientists have contributed reviews of current research on the interaction of organelles in processes such as C3, C4, C3-C4, and CAM photosynthesis, photorespiration, substrate and protein transport, respiration, lipid metabolism and organelle biogenesis. The result is a comprehensive, state of-the-art volume which provides a rich source of reference and information for plant biochemists and their students. SOCIETY FOR EXPERIMENTAL BIOLOGY SEMINAR SERIES: 50 PLANT ORGANELLES COMPARTMENTATION OF METABOLISM IN PHOTOSYNTHETIC CELLS SOCIETY FOR EXPERIMENTAL BIOLOGY SEMINAR SERIES A series of multi-author volumes developed from seminars held by the Society for Experimental Biology. Each volume serves not only as an introductory review of a specific topic, but also introduces the reader to experimental evidence to sup port the theories and principles discussed, and points the way to new research. 2.
