Description for Plant Lipids: Biology, Utilisation and Manipulation
Hardcover. New research tools have revealed many surprising aspects of the dynamic nature of lipids and their participation in processes such as recognition, intra-- and inter--cellular signalling, deterrence and defence against pathogens, membrane trafficking and protein function. Editor(s): Murphy, Professor Denis J. Series: Biological Sciences Series. Num Pages: 424 pages, 44 illustrations. BIC Classification: PSBH; PST. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 241 x 162 x 28. Weight in Grams: 962.
New research tools have revealed many surprising aspects of the dynamic nature of lipids and their participation in processes such as recognition, intra- and inter-cellular signalling, deterrence and defence against pathogens, membrane trafficking and protein function. This is in addition to new information on the more established roles of plant lipids as structural components of membranes and as long-term storage products. Plant lipids are also increasingly being seen as sources of a new generation of environmentally friendly, biodegradable and renewable industrial products, including biopolymers and high grade lubricants.
