Two that I have found to complement each other nicely as general references are:
PLANT BIOCHEMISTRY, 3rd edition
(eds) Bonner and Varner
Academic Press
1976
ISBN 0-12-114860-2
INTRODUCTION TO PLANT BIOCHEMISTRY, 2nd edition
Goodwin and Mercer
Pergamon Press
1983 (reprinted 1990 with corrections)
ISBN 0-08-024921-3
I am thinking of using the following as a good, short background text for
lab courses since it tends to explain principles in light of experimental work:
LIFE PROCESSES OF PLANTS
Galston
Scientific American Library
1994
ISBN 0-7167-5044-9
Hope this info helps. Best wishes.
