Detailed description
Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 7


The importance of protein-protein interactions in biological systems is a rapidly emerging research theme and the revolution taking place in our understanding of plant genomics is enabling us to make exciting discoveries that have implications for both the fundamental and applied plant sciences.

This volume provides, at research and professional level, an overview of our current understanding of the significance of protein-protein interactions in plant biology, drawing comparisons with similar interactions in animal cells. The unique biochemistry associated with photosynthesis in higher plants is also addressed.

This is a volume for plant biochemists, cell biologists, molecular biologists and physiologists.
