Plant Lipids: Biology, Utilisation and

Plant Lipids: Biology, Utilisation and Manipulation provides a broad, contemporary review of plant lipid biology and its applications, drawing on recent advances in cell biology, biochemistry, biophysics, genomics, molecular biology and genetic engineering. The field of plant lipids has changed almost beyond recognition in recent years. Modern research tools have revealed many surprising aspects of the dynamic nature of lipids in processes like recognition, signaling, deterrence, defense, membrane trafficking and protein function. Plant lipids are now at the center of an intense debate about their nutritional role and their possible contribution to a healthier diet.
