Beschreibung

Plant Cells and Their Organelles provides a comprehensive overview of the structure and function of plant organelles. The text focuses on subcellular organelles while also providing relevant background on plant cells, tissues and organs. Coverage of the latest methods of light and electron microscopy and modern biochemical procedures for the isolation and identification of organelles help to provide a thorough and up-to-date companion text to the field of plant cell and subcellular biology. The book is designed as an advanced text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students with student-friendly diagrams and clear explanations.

Preface

Plant Cells and their Organelles is an advanced textbook to enhance the plant biology student’s knowledge of the structure and function of plant cells and their organelles. The book assumes that the student has had introductory courses in plant science and chemistry. The book emphasizes the research literature in plant cell biology concerning cell and organellar structure. However, the literature from plant physiology, molecular genetics, and biochemistry has been utilized to augment the discussions of cell and organellar function.

Cells

Parenchyma, chlorenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma are the four main plant cell types (Figure 1.1, Evert, 2006). Meristematic cells, which occur in shoot and root meristems, are parenchyma cells. Chlorenchyma cells contain chloroplasts and lack the cell wall thickening layers of collenchyma and sclerenchyma. Certain epidermal cells can be specialized as stomata that are important in gas exchange (Bergmann and Sack, 2007). The diverse cell types (Zhang et al., 2001; Yang and Liu, 2007) are shown in Table 1.1. Photomicrographs of certain of these cell types can be found in Evert (2006), Fahn (1990), Beck (2005), Rudall (2007), Gunning (2009), MacAdam (2009), Wayne (2009), Beck (2009), Assmann and Liu (2014) and Noguchi et al. (2014).
