Description
Plant Cell Biology is a semester long course for undergraduates and graduate students which integrates mathematics and physics, two years
of chemistry, genetics, biochemistry and evolution disciplines. Having taught this course for over ten years, the author uses his expertise
to relate the background established in plant anatomy, plant physiology, plant growth and development, plant taxonomy, plant biochemistry,
and plant molecular biology courses to plant cell biology. This integration attempts to break down the barrier so plant cell biology
is seen as an entree into higher science.
Distinguishing this book from papers that are often used for teaching the subject which use
a single plant to demonstrate the techniques of molecular biology, this book covers all aspects of plant cell biology without emphasizing
any one plant, organelle, molecule, or technique. Although most examples are biased towards plants, basic similarities between all living
eukaryotic cells (animal and plant) are recognized and used to best illustrate for students cell processes.
Audience
Plant Biology and Plant Cell Biology courses; researchers and scientists with a background in plant anatomy, plant physiology, plant growth
and development, plant taxonomy, plant biochemistry, and plant molecular biology needing a reference in plant biology
