Introduction to Plant Biochemistry (C.I.L.)

The new edition of this popular textbook has been completely rewritten to take account of the many advances that have taken place in the subject over the past decade. An outstanding feature of the second edition is the comprehensive and detailed nature of the diagrams and metabolic schemes. These present the reader with a concise summary of the material discussed in detail in the text. The book also has two extremely useful appendices: one describing the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog method of absolute configuration at chiral centres and the other summarising the units and dimensions encountered by the practising biochemist.
