Description
This volume presents the physiological and biochemical aspects of storage carbohydrates, or starch granules, in plants. This up-to-date
and thorough resource carefully integrates fundamental knowledge with the most recent information on the starch granule. It discusses
the chemistry of the starch granule and the biochemistry, molecular biology, plant physiology, and genetics of plant starch synthesis.
The books also describes the implications of these studies for theseed, biotechnology, and modified starch industries.
