Plant Organelles: Compartmentation of Metabolism in Photosynthetic Tissue

350 Pages·1992·10.887 MB·English

by  Alyson K. Tobin

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.

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.
