Plant cell mitochondria perform a number of important biochemical processes. The most important of these is the oxidative degradation of organic acids via the t
This chapter describes a simple and practical method for large-scale isolation and purification of chloroplasts. The advantages of this method are high yield, l
Within this chapter, we present a protocol for extracting total protein from wood-forming tissues (secondary xylem in differentiation). This protocol has been u
It is well known that the xylem and primordial vasculature in higher plants are responsible for the long-distance transport of small nutrient molecules. However
Seeds may contain different components, like starch and polysaccharides, which can severely reduce the amount of protein extracted. The proteins in cereal plant
Another feasible method for protein extraction, besides the classical trichloroacetic acid (TCA ) /acetone precipitation method, is phenol extraction, which can
In this chapter we describe an efficient method suitable for whole protein extraction from various plant tissues. The method utilizes trichloroacetic acid and a
With the development of transgenic technology systems, the transfer of heterologous genes into the plant genome has become possible, which provides a new avenue
Modern "metabolomics" methods can be used to automatically compare the levels of a number of structurally different compounds in a large number of samples. The
Wheat, as one of the major global crops, is processed into a range of food products for consumer consumption. Therefore, it is of great importance to determine
