Lipids in Photosynthesis: Essential and Regulatory Functions, provides an essential summary of an exciting decade of research on relationships between lipids and photosynthesis. The book brings together extensively cross-referenced and peer-reviewed chapters by prominent researchers. The topics covered include the structure, molecular organization and biosynthesis of fatty acids, glycerolipids and nonglycerolipids in plants, algae, lichens, mosses, and cyanobacteria, as well as in chloroplasts and mitochondria. Several chapters deal with the manipulation of the extent of unsaturation of fatty acids and the effects of such manipulation on photosynthesis and responses to various forms of stress. The final chapters focus on lipid trafficking, signaling and advanced analytical techniques. Ten years ago, Siegenthaler and Murata edited ""Lipids in Photosynthesis: Structure, Function and Genetics,"" which became a classic in the field. ""Lipids in Photosynthesis: Essential and Regulatory Functions,"" belongs, with its predecessor, in every plant and microbiological researcher's bookcase.

Reviews for Lipids in Photosynthesis: Essential and Regulatory Functions

From the reviews: This volume of AIPH is useful in that it addresses a wide spectrum of readers as well as the researchers in the field, just as volume 6 did. It would be an attractive addition to the graduate student and research scholar's desks. ! this book is definitely very timely and much needed for plant scientists, microbiologists and agricultural scientists. ! We recommend this book to all university and research libraries around the world. It is a value added book of the AIPH series.
