  • Genomics of Chloroplasts and Mitochondria

    Edited by Ralph Bock, Volker Knoop ...
    Series Book 35 - Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration
    The past decade has witnessed an explosion of our knowledge on the structure, coding capacity and evolution of the genomes of the two DNA-containing cell organelles in plants: chloroplasts (plastids) and mitochondria. Comparative genomics analyses have provided new insights into the origin of organelles by endosymbioses and uncovered an enormous evolutionary dynamics of organellar genomes. In ... Read more

  • Dance to the Tune of Life

    Biological Relativity

    by Denis Noble ...
    In this thought-provoking book, Denis Noble formulates the theory of biological relativity, emphasising that living organisms operate at multiple levels of complexity and must therefore be analysed from a multi-scale, relativistic perspective. Noble explains that all biological processes operate by means of molecular, cellular and organismal networks. The interactive nature of these fundamental ... Read more

  • Bioenergetic Processes of Cyanobacteria

    From Evolutionary Singularity to Ecological Diversity

    Edited by Guenter A. Peschek, Christian Obinger, Gernot Renger ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This publication is unique among a number of books on cyanobacteria because it focuses on the bioenergetics of these widespread organisms which are the evolutionary prerequisite for the development of all higher forms of life on our "blue" planet. The book primarily addresses questions of energy conversion by the fundamental bioenergetic processes: (oxygenic) photosynthesis, (aerobic) respiration, ... Read more

  • Mechanisms of Life History Evolution

    The Genetics and Physiology of Life History Traits and Trade-Offs

    Edited by Thomas Flatt, Andreas Heyland ...
    Life history theory seeks to explain the evolution of the major features of life cycles by analyzing the ecological factors that shape age-specific schedules of growth, reproduction, and survival and by investigating the trade-offs that constrain the evolution of these traits. Although life history theory has made enormous progress in explaining the diversity of life history strategies among ... Read more

  • C4 Photosynthesis and Related CO2 Concentrating Mechanisms

    Edited by Agepati S. Raghavendra, Rowan F. Sage ...
    Series Book 32 - Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration
    The C4 pathway of photosynthesis was discovered and characterized, more than four decades ago. Interest in C4 pathway has been sustained and has recently been boosted with the discovery of single-cell C4 photosynthesis and the successful introduction of key C4-cycle enzymes in important crops, such as rice. Further, cold-tolerant C4 plants are at the verge of intense exploitation as energy crops. ... Read more

  • Centromere

    Structure and Evolution

    Edited by Durdica Ugarkovic ...
    Series Book 48 - Progress in Molecular and Subcellular Biology
    The centromere is a chromosomal region that enables the accurate segregation of chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis. It holds sister chromatids together, and through its centromere DNA–protein complex known as the kinetochore binds spindle microtubules to bring about accurate chromosome movements. Despite this conserved function, centromeres exhibit dramatic difference in structure, size, and ... Read more

  • Endocytosis in Plants

    Edited by Jozef Šamaj ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Endocytosis is a fundamental cellular process by means of which cells internalize extracellular and plasma membrane cargos for recycling or degradation. It is important for the establishment and maintenance of cell polarity, subcellular signaling and uptake of nutrients into specialized cells, but also for plant cell interactions with pathogenic and symbiotic microbes. Endocytosis starts by ... Read more
