内容説明
Recent progress in plant molecular biology has revolutionized seed technology. With the enhancement of the classical properties of seeds by genetic engineering, we have seeds that produce esoteric oils, plastics, novel starches, and more. Emerging work on seed proteins, their genes - and our understanding of seed biosynthesis - has increased enormously. Seed Technology and Its Biological Basis covers the most current advances in seed development and regulation.
Edited by a renowned seed biologist with a team assembled from the most respected laboratories worldwide, Seed Technology and Its Biological Basis illustrates the commercial value of seeds as a major resource. The editors provide a sweeping overview of the current state-of-the-art in seed technology and its biological basis. The book is invaluable to researchers and professionals in both the industrial and academic sectors.

内容説明
Seed production -- whether for human or animal food, for industrial use or for crops -- is heavily dependent on the unique biology of seeds. In the first two instances, we are drawing on the seed constituents -- the reserves of carbohydrates, protein and triacylglycerol -- while in the last we are reliant on the seedsa viability, vigour and capacity for germination. This volume provides a broad, up--to--date coverage of seed technology and its underlying biology in the light of recent advances in plant molecular biology. Possibilities for biotechnological exploitation are highlighted throughout.
