Overview

A comprehensive overview of developments in the biology of plastids, mitochondria, glyoxisomes and peroxisomes. Written by experts in the field, its coverage ranges from organelle biogenesis and heredity to evolution, discussing both molecular and classical aspects. It includes a modern treatment of genetic compartmentalization in the palnt all, which is one of the fundamental characteristics of eukaryozes. The treatise is designed to serve as an introduction to the field, as well as a resource for research professionals and advanced graduate students in plant molecular and cell biology. It should also be useful to all botanists and teachers who need a conceptual framework.
