Plant Biochemistry
Autor Birgit Piechulla, Hans-Walter Heldten Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 apr 2025
Covering a broad spectrum of topics in plant biochemistry, this book explores photosynthesis, energy metabolism, carbohydrate synthesis, photorespiration, starch biosynthesis and degradation, sulfate assimilation and nitrogen and nitrate assimilation and biosynthesis of plant proteins. The new edition delineates areas of latest and future research and includes a new and cutting-edge chapter on chlorophyll degradation.
- Examines not only the molecular mechanisms of photosynthesis but also highlights and expands this view to all facets facilitating plant life
- Delivers the fundamental knowledge of plant biochemistry by explaining the biological processes of life, including growth, development, senescence, and interactions between organisms and the environment, with chemical reactions
- Includes more than 300 two-color diagrams and metabolic schemes

Recenzii
Praise for the third edition:"Plant Biochemistry will be an invaluable resource for students, teachers and researchers looking for a clear, up to date presentation which covers the essentials without being overwhelmed by details. There are simple, easy to grasp illustrations throughout....I would highly recommend this book as a text in plant biochemistry, physiology and biotechnology courses. The book highlights examples on how an understanding of plant biochemistry is fundamental towards the applications of biotechnology, which are bringing about a revolution in agriculture." --Gerald Edwards, Washington State University
"This is a welcome addition to the sparsely populated topic of recent textbooks in plant biochemistry. It complements rather than unnecessarily duplicates the many fine general biochemistry volumes available...The contents are well organized and laid out with logical and informative section titles. The text is nicely illustrated and regularly gives a clear and easily understandable overview of complex subjects, as well as provides some additional detail...This book will be an excellent introduction and overview of plant biochemistry to anyone interested in the subject. It also provides a nice reference for students of pharmacy, nutrition, environmental sciences, and ecology, as well as general biology students. As such, it will be a good textbook for classes associated with these subjects." --David Hildebrand, Agronomy, University of Kentucky in QUARTERLY REVIEW OF BIOLOGY
"The book Plant Biochemistry and Molecular Biology by Professor Hans Heldt is an outstanding text. The material is elegantly presented, with attention to molecular structures, intracellular compartmentation, and regulatory mechanisms controlling metabolism. Difficult topics are presented with incredible clarity and with a style that reflects many decades of cutting-edge research and effective teaching by the author. I highly recommend this book for both students and researchers in the field of plant biochemistry." --Steve Huber, University of Illinois
"The third edition of Plant Biochemistry by Hans-Walter Heldt updates my favorite text on this topic. My students prefered the first edition of this book to more encyclopedic treatments by a wide margin. The book covers aspects of biochemistry that are essential to a broad understanding of plant function. The book is focused on clear explanations of the essential concepts rather than an encyclopedic approach. Simple diagrams make even complex topics clear. The typeface and layout of the new edition is improved, with important words in bold, making important topics stand out for easy comprehension. This book is invaluable as a text for any plant biochemistry course." --Thomas Sharkey, University of Wisconsin
