The second edition of
Plant Physiology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is divided into ten sections, each dealing with a particular aspect of plant metabolism. The book now includes new chapters on protein synthesis and the molecular biology of plant development. Section II contains new chapters on the cell wall, structure, communication and defence. Sections III to IX have been revised and updated to incorporate recent changes and advances in the field. The final section of the book contains new chapters on the manipulation of carbon allocation in plants and on the biochemical basis for plant improvement.
