| Abstract
|
:
|
"This book provides an overview of pigment chemistry and biology, together with an up-to-date account of the biosynthesis of pigments and the modification of their production using biotechnology. The chapters cover a wide scope of pigmentation research - from the importance of structural diversity in generating the range of colours seen in plants, through to improving human health properties of crops by increasing pigment levels in transgenic plants." "The volume is directed at researchers and professionals in plant biochemistry, molecular biology and genetics."--Jacket.
