Beskrivning

'The heterogeneity of topics...is very ambitious, and the result is, overall, successful because of the high quality of the individual contributions...highly recommended.' -American Scientist, from a review of a previous volume Volume 26 examines the emerging areas of signal transduction based on myoinositol phosphates and Ca2+ while focusing on plant and animal responses. Chapters explore synthesis, separation, and identification of different inositol phosphates.
