Review of the first edition: In this clearly written and well illustrated book, Brett and Waldron show how research over the past 20 years has revolutionized our view of the plant cell wall ... the authors' [have an] admirably eclectic approach, which touches on areas as diverse as pollen dating, dry rot and mechanical engineering ... Brett and Waldron have provided a readily accessible introduction to all these topics for any plant scientist - Times Higher Education Supplement; ...a reference for the molecular biologist catching up on the structural fundamentals of the cell walls of flowering plants - Trends in plant science
This text provides an integrated view of the molecular structure and function of the plant cell wall, its formation and roles in a variety of plant processes. Concluding chapters discuss degradation processes, biotechnological and nutritional aspects. This book should be of interest to advanced undergraduates and post-graduates in plant physiology, plant sciences and plant biotechnology.
