 1.     Plant Biochemistry provides students and researchers in plant sciences with a concise general account of plant biochemistry. The edited format allows recognized experts in plant biochemistry to contribute chapters on their special topics. Up-to-date surveys are divided into four sections: the cell, primary metabolism, special metabolism, and the plant and the environment. There is a strong emphasis on plant metabolism as well as enzymological, methodological, molecular, biological, functional, and regulatory aspects of plant biochemistry. Illustrations of metabolic pathways are used extensively and further reading lists are also included. Plants harnness sunlight energy, fixes atmospheric carbon dioxide, and produce a diverse array of chemical compounds to survive in challenging ecological niches. Plant-derived metabolites are also major sources of human food, fiber, fuel, and medicine. The Biochemistry Botany 621 course covers topics related to plant metabolism and discusses how plants generate carbon and energy sources by photosynthesis and synthesize various compounds through complex networks of metabolic pathways. Various analytical tools (e.g., mass spectrometry, NMR) that are used in plant biochemistry research will be also introduced. The course is designed for graduate students and advanced undergraduates and has two 75-minute classes per week, which consist of lectures and student presentations based on primary scientific literature. General chemistry and biochemistry are prerequisites to this course.
