Plant Membrane and Vacuolar Transporters. 2008. illustr. 400 p. gr8vo. Hardcover.
While information on the roles and regulation of transporters for allmajor nutrients and metabolites in plants has increased significantly, asynthesis of this research has been lacking. Based on current research in genomics and proteomics, this book clarifies the identification andcharacterization of plant membrane and vacuolar transporters.Transporter functions such as mineral nutrition, cell homeostasis, storage and stress responses are examined with a focus on enhancingnutrient use efficiency in crops, and increasing crops ability towithstand nutrient stresses and improve nutrient storage.
