Publisher's Synopsis
The series is being launched to promote current awareness of the exciting progress being made in the understanding and utilization of plant materials. As well as giving coverage to the more abundant components, more minor but important components will also be given full coverage. Of particular concern will be topics at the interface between these two areas, especially those with immediate or potential commercial applications. In this inaugural volume, the chapter on "plant cell reactors" occupies this niche, with the chapters on "gene encoding seed globulins in legumes and plant lipids" covering the more fundamental aspects. The applied aspects are covered in the chapters on "gelling agents" and the "biochemistry and nutritional properties of tannins".;The serial should be of widespread interest to research scientists and technologists working in research institutions and industry in plant sciences, biotechnology, nutrition, and food science and technology and others with general awareness interests in applied biology.
