<P><FONT SIZE=2>ABOUT THE BOOK:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>This book focuses on the very latest developments in
our understanding of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>how plants use light energy and fixed carbon to
assimilate nitrate and</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>ammonium into the organic compounds required for
growth. From the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>partitioning of organic nitrogen within the
photosynthetic apparatus,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>through the primary processes of reduction of
nitrate and nitrite and the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>assimilation of ammonium and its cycling in
photorespiration, the complex</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>interactions inherent in the cross talk between
carbon and nitrogen</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>assimilation are considered and exciting new
developments such as nitric</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>oxide production evaluated.Attention is paid
throughout to the close</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>coordination of photosynthetic and respiratory
processes in nitrogen</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>assimilation. Emerging concepts of the
interdependence of chloroplasts and</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>mitochondria are described, and essential
communication, transport and</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>signaling processes are highlighted. This is the
first comprehensive</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>treatise on photosynthetic nitrogen assimilation.
Written by a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>multinational team of experts, this work will be an
invaluable tool for</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>students at final-year undergraduate and graduate
level, as well as</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>essential and engaging reading for all those whose
enthusiasm is fired by</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> the intricate metabolic networks that support
the growth of the earth's</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>major crops.</FONT>
