Synopsis

Control of Plant Gene Expression is a comprehensive volume describing the regulation and control of specific plant genes expressed in different tissues during plant development. It addresses several fundamental aspects of plant gene regulation, including signal transduction mechanisms and the role of plant hormones. It also discusses the structure and regulation of important metabolic genes such as those involved in nitrogen and carbon assimilation, lipid biosynthesis, and secondary metabolism. The book provides excellent examples of genetic engineering applications to alter agronomically important traits, making it an essential reference volume for plant molecular biologists and plant biotechnologists. It also contains a wealth of information that will be valuable to students specializing in plant molecular biology, plant development, gene regulation in plants, molecular plant physiology, or plant biotechnology.
