Synopsis

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. This book is intended for plant physiologists, biochemists, phytochemists in an academic or industrial research setting.

About this title

Review:

it is to postdoctoral and postgraduate researchers starting a project in this area that the volume will be of most use (J.A. Gatehouse, University of Durham, Phtochemistry, Vol. 44, No. 5, 1997)

Of interest to all plant physiologists, biochemists and moelcular biologists concerned with these processes, or with plant protein as a food source. (Aslib Book Guide, vol. 61, no. 12, December 1996)

the book 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. (Journal of Plant Physiology, vol.150, 1997)

'...a useful collection of articles for plant scientists...I found this book interesting and a useful way of reviewing the advances in the diverse areas in which protein phosphorylation has proved to be important in plants. It is well produced...the standard is good...for postgraduates this collection might present an ideal way to become familiar with the range of plant protein phosphorylation research.'
