Plant Metabolism and Biotechnology

Various plant metabolites are useful for human life, and the induction and reduction of these metabolites using modern biotechnical technique is of enormous potential important especially in the fields of agriculture and health. Plant Metabolism and Biotechnology describes the biosynthetic pathways of plant metabolites, their function in plants, and some applications for biotechnology. Topics covered include:

• biosynthesis and metabolism of starch and sugars
• lipid biosynthesis
• symbiotic nit...
