Chloroplasts are the organelles that perform photosynthesis and many of the metabolic processes in plant cells. They are a specialized form of plastids, whose differentiation is dependent on environmental and developmental signaling. Descended from a lineage of free-living, photosynthesizing prokaryotes, chloroplasts and other plastids contain remnants of their ancient genomes and chloroplast gene expression is essential for establishing functional organelles. Chloroplast gene expression has features of the prokaryotic gene expression but now involves large suites of nuclear proteins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTopics discussed are:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003ethe identification of these nuclear factors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003ehow chloroplast RNA is processed to produce functional organelles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003etranslation in chloroplasts and its regulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003ethe environmental factors that influence chloroplast development\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eand how plants deal with defective chloroplasts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book also highlights the evolving landscape of chloroplast engineering in biotechnology, recent breakthroughs and their implications for the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA valuable resource for researchers, students, and enthusiasts alike, this book is a compelling testament to the fascinating world of chloroplasts and their burgeoning role in scientific innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2024-11-20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031700972\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-70098-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 215\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45987760439436,"sku":"9783031700972","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031700972.jpg?v=1776879834","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783031700972","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
