The second edition of this popular textbook has been substantially revised and updated to take into account the rapid advances in research over the last few years. The authors have retained the basic format, whilst some chapters have been updated and others completely rewritten - this includes new sections on protein targeting, chloroplast DNA, the mitochondrial genome, developmental regulation of gene expression and the latest information on Rhizobium, Agrobacterium, and plant viruses. The substantial revision of chapter nine reflects the many new developments in the area of plant genetic engineering. The inclusion of many new diagrams complements the text. This book should be of interest to advanced undergraduates and postgraduates in plant physiology and biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics and biotechnology.
