Life on earth depends on the solar energy which is fixed in the biosphere by photosynthesis in plants which have pigments that harvest sunlight. Thus, plants are constantly also exposed to ultraviolet irradiation. In plants wide inter- and intraspecific differences have been reported in response to UV radiation with respect to growth, production of dry matter and biochemical changes. The direct effects of UV radiations on plant cells are mostly damaging, because UV photons have enough energy to create lesions in important UV-absorbing biomolecules. Also, the present work ascertains that...

This monograph is the outgrowth of experience gained from teaching courses in intermediary metabolism in plants for B.Sc. students. My intention has been to highlight three main biochemical aspects of plant physiology to assist students to develop the knowledge that they have acquired in general university courses in botany. It is also hoped that it will prove useful to students that need biochemistry as a subsidiary subject for any kind of biological or agricultural science. This book thus represents an attempt to overview the classification, occurrence and characterization of carbohydrate,...
