Rezensionen

From the reviews: "As the title suggests, the emphasis of the book is on molecular aspects of plastid biology. ... this volume gives an excellent overview of the progress and current status of molecular studies on plastids, particularly on chloroplast. The book is recommended for all plant molecular biologists, primarily for those working in plastid biology, photosynthesis, and biotechnology." (M. Tichý, Photosynthetica, Vol. 46 (3), 2008)
