Biochemistry of Plant Cell Walls

This book contains twelve contributions from scientists of international repute concerning the chemistry of the cell wall, its biosynthesis, and biochemical aspects of its functions. The common theme is the emphasis on the molecules which make up the cell wall: their chemical structure, the enzymic mechanisms by which they are formed, and the interactions between molecules which enable them to perform their structural and growth-controlling functions. The book contains reviews of recent developments, together with critical assessments of the methods used, and analyses of the major challenges which face cell-wall scientists to-day.Brett, C. T. is the author of 'Biochemistry of Plant Cell Walls', published 1985 under ISBN 9780521304870 and ISBN 0521304873.
