Plant Genes, Genomes and Genetics by Erich Grotewold (Author), 1st Edition

This comprehensive textbook provides an in-depth exploration of plant gene expression, offering a unique perspective from the plant standpoint. It emphasizes key processes first discovered in plants that significantly influence plant development and interactions with their environment. The book covers a wide range of topics, including plant genome structure, gene expression control points, protein generation mechanisms, and posttranslational modifications.

Written by leading specialists in plant biology with extensive teaching experience at both undergraduate and graduate levels, this resource is invaluable for students and instructors alike. It features specific examples that demonstrate the distinct operations of plants compared to other organisms, detailed sections on particular issues, and end-of-chapter problems to reinforce learning. The book also includes rich, full-colour illustrations and diagrams that vividly illustrate important processes in plant gene expression.

A companion website offers additional resources such as PowerPoint slides, downloadable figures, and answers to questions posed within the text.
