Beskrivning

The International Symposia on Plant Lipids, the 15th of which was held in Okazaki, Japan, in May 12-17, 2002, is held every two years and is the only international meeting in this field. The almost 100 contributions from the symposium collected in this book represent the most up-to-date research results on plant lipids, including their structure, analysis, biosynthesis, regulation, physiological function, environmental aspects, and biotechnology, obtained world-wide during the last two years.

"This book is not just another proceedings volume; in contrast, it provides a wealth of new information on plant lipids on a high scientific standard. It will greatly stimulate future research on plant lipids and metabolic pathways in plants. This valuable book should be present in all plant biology laboratories and libraries. It can be recommended to all researchers and graduate students in plant biology." (Journal of Plant Physiology, 161:3)
