>ASPP has recently come out with The Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
of Plants, which is very, very good (see
http://www.aspp.org/biotext/index.htm) It will be a good test of the
idea that a book can succeed, although it has an associated CD for those
that need images to prepare lectures.
We have considered building some of the 2001 Advanced Plant Biochemistry
summer course around it (http://ibc.wsu.edu/Events/2001_Course.html).
Would this be a useful thing to do for those of you that teach in this
area? You can write me directly if you have comments or post to the
group.
