Plant Membrane Biology - by John Elliott (Hardcover)

About the Book

Plant membrane biology is the study of the intricate structures and functions of membranes within plant cells. Membranes play pivotal roles in regulating the passage of molecules, ions, and signals, thereby influencing various physiological processes such as nutrient uptake, cellular communication, and stress responses. Plant membranes are composed of lipid bilayers embedded with proteins that facilitate selective transport and cellular signaling. Understanding membrane dynamics is crucial for enhancing crop productivity, optimizing stress tolerance, and unraveling plant developmental processes. Recent advances in molecular biology, bioinformatics, and imaging techniques have deepened our comprehension of plant membrane organization and function, paving the way for innovative biotechnological applications in agriculture and environmental sustainability. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative approaches around prospective developments with respect to plant membrane biology. While understanding the long-term perspectives of the topics, the book makes an effort in highlighting the mechanisms of plant membrane. Students, researchers, experts and all associated with this discipline will benefit alike from this book.
