Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 46, Plant Nuclear Structure, Genome Architecture and Gene Regulation / Annual Plant Reviews Bd.46 (ePub)

This timely volume brings together expert reviews of the recent
significant advances in our knowledge and understanding of the
organisation of the higher plant nucleus, and in particular in the
relationship between nuclear organisation and the regulation of
gene expression. Rapid progress has been made in a number of key
areas over the last five years, including description and
characterization of proteins of the nuclear envelope and nuclear
pore complex, novel insights into nucleoskeletal structures, as
well as developments related to chromatin organization, function
and gene expression. These advances open the way for new research
into areas such as stress tolerance, plant-pathogen interactions
and ultimately crop improvement and food security. Continued
research into plant nuclear structure, genome architecture and gene
regulation also enriches our understanding of the origin and
evolution of the nucleus and its envelope.

Edited by world-class researchers in plant cell biology, and
comprising contributions from internationally-renowned academics,
this latest volume in the prestigious Annual Plant Reviews series
brings together a wealth of knowledge in the burgeoning field of
plant nuclear structure and genetics.

Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 46: Plant Nuclear Structure,
Genome Architecture and Gene Regulation is a vital
resource for advanced students, researchers and professionals in
plant science and related disciplines. Libraries in all research
establishments where plant science, biochemistry, molecular
biology, genetics and genomics and agricultural science are taught
and studied will find this excellent volume an essential addition
to their shelf.
