The Biochemistry of Plants: A Comprehensive Treatise, Volume 4:
Lipids: Structure and Function provides information pertinent to the
fundamental aspects of plant lipid biochemistry. This book covers a
variety of topics, including oxidative enzymes, glyoxylate cycle,
lipoxygenases, ethylene biosynthesis, phospholipids, and carotenoids.
Organized into 19 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the
different techniques for use in the analysis of plant lipids. This
text then outlines the concepts of membrane lipid structure and
discusses the relationship between membrane lipid structure and
function. Other chapters consider the role that lipid structure plays
in regulating physiological function. This book discusses as well the
biochemical mechanism by which the double bond is introduced in the
biosynthesis of ethylene. The final chapter deals with the results of
studies on the biosynthesis of cyclopropanoid, cyclopropenoid, and
cyclopentenyl fatty acids in higher plants. This book is a valuable
resource for plant biochemists, neurobiochemists, molecular
biologists, senior graduate students, and research workers.
