Developments in Crop Science 26 CARBOHYDRATE RESERVES IN PLANTS Synthesis and Regulation

The first chapter of the book is a general topic on sucrose metabolism and its regulation and transport. The next two chapters deal with sucrose storing crops, sugarcame and sugar beet. In the subsequent four chapters the emphasis ha s been given on accumulation of starch in grains of important cereal crops like wheat, rice maize and barley. Starch synthesis and tuber filling in potato ha s been discussed as a separate chapter. A chapter ha s been devoted to the role of fructans accumulated in stem internodes to grain filling in wheat and barley. Jerusalem artichoke and chicory are two important crops that store inulin a s reserve
carbohydrate in their tuber/root. Both crops appear to have a significant application in food industry. A chapter on the enzymology of fructans in
grasses was thought to be an appropriate addition in the book chapters. These days, new crops by genetic engineering are being evolved. A
comprehensive chapter on starch synthesis in transgenic plants and incorporation of SacB gene in certain plants ha s been kept in this book.
Various leguminous crops store galactomannan to a very high level in their seeds. Therefore latest information on galactomannan synthesis ha s
been reported. In certain fruit crops polyols may serve an important reserve of carbon. Therefore, a chapter on sugar alcohol ha s been added. Trees contribute significantly to biomass production a s fruit trees, forest trees specialised trees for getting wood etc. A general chapter on carbohydrates of trees was thought to be useful. An attempt ha s been made to include all major crops and main carbohydrate reserve polymers in this book. We hope this book will help to integrate the thoughts of basic plant biochemists and applied agricultural scientists in the interest of humanity.
