Publisher's Synopsis
The 9th International Symposium on Plant Lipid Biochemistry was held at Wye College, Kent, in July 1990. Not only has the scale and scope of the topic expanded since the first biannual meeting in 1974, but there have been giant strides, particularly in the last few years, in our knowledge of the detailed structure and function of plant lipids. Industry has never been slow to recognize the commercial importance of plant lipids and has invested heavily in the new technologies described in this book. Virtually all the laboratories that have contributed to these developments were represented at the meeting, and this volume is a compendium of their individual contributions.
