Annual Plant Reviews, Plant Nuclear Structure, Genome Architecture and Gene Regulation

This timely volume brings together expert reviews of the recentsignificant advances in our knowledge and understanding of theorganisation of the higher plant nucleus, and in particular in therelationship between nuclear organisation and the regulation ofgene expression. Rapid progress has been made in a number of keyareas over the last five years, including description andcharacterization of proteins of the nuclear envelope and nuclearpore complex, novel insights into nucleoskeletal structures, aswell as developments related to chromatin organization, functionand gene expression. These advances open the way for new researchinto areas such as stress tolerance, plant-pathogen interactionsand ultimately crop improvement and food security. Continuedresearch into plant nuclear structure, genome architecture and generegulation also enriches our understanding of the origin andevolution of the nucleus and its envelope. Edited by world-class researchers in plant cell biology, andcomprising contributions from internationally-renowned academics,this latest volume in the prestigious Annual Plant Reviews seriesbrings together a wealth of knowledge in the burgeoning field ofplant nuclear structure and genetics. Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 46: Plant Nuclear Structure,Genome Architecture and Gene Regulation is a vitalresource for advanced students, researchers and professionals inplant science and related disciplines. Libraries in all researchestablishments where plant science, biochemistry, molecularbiology, genetics and genomics and agricultural science are taughtand studied will find this excellent volume an essential additionto their shelf.
