Biochemical Aspects of Plant Physiology: Technology and Methodology

Biochemical methods are utilized in all areas of biological science, including agriculture. The biochemical aspect is an essential element of plant physiology, and it is employed to explain the majority of the physiological processes in plants and crops. Biochemical Aspects of Plant Physiology is primarily intended for graduate students and researchers at universities and research institutions. As it covers a broad range of topics on both the theoretical and practical aspects of the biochemical aspects of plant physiology, it is likely to be beneficial to any student enrolled in theoretical or practical plant physiology or biochemistry courses. This book is based on three key principles: 1) The theoretical foundations and practical applications, including descriptions of various biochemical assays, along with detailed experimental protocols to perform them. 2) Practical knowledge regarding the techniques and methods used to investigate the properties of macromolecules. 3) The ability to determine the charge of weak acids, bases, and macromolecules in light of their chemical environment. Additionally, the book covers how to measure the concentration of macromolecular solutions using spectrophotometry and how to design protocols for the purification of proteins from cell cultures or tissues. It is useful for conducting practical classes for undergraduate and graduate students in Plant Physiology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Microbiology, Agricultural Science, Environmental Science, Nutrition, Pharmaceutical Science, and other subjects related to biology. The book is particularly useful for postgraduate students and researchers who are interested in the biochemical basis of plant physiology, including topics such as photosynthesis, photorespiration, plant pigments, carbon and nitrogen assimilation, plant nutrients, phenols, secondary metabolites, nucleic acids, and vitamins.
