Plant Cell Wall Polymers : Biogenesis and Biodegradation

Developed from the Third Chemical Congress of North America, Toronto, Ontario, June 1988, this volume addresses all aspects of biosynthesis and biodegradation of plant cell wall polymers. Forty-seven chapters are divided into eight sections encompassing cell wall development, biogenesis, plant-microbe interactions and biodegradation. For a wide audience that includes specialists in natural products, biopolymers, botany, forestry, and agriculture, as well as plant physiologists, biochemists, food scientists, and microbiologists.
