The Molecular Biology of Chloroplasts and Mitochondria in Chlamydomonas provides a comprehensive coverage of chloroplast and mitochondrial biogenesis and function. The book presents the current status of research on the molecular genetics of chloroplast gene expression. It describes the intricate cooperative interplay between the chloroplast and nuclear compartments which underlies the assembly of the photosynthetic apparatus. It also shows the power of chloroplast reverse genetics which has been used with considerable success to investigate structure-function relationships in several photosynthetic complexes. The book highlights the features of Chlamydomonas and the technological advances which make the alga uniquely suited to a multidisciplinary approach to study photosynthesis and its regulation under various environmental and stress conditions. The book is intended for a wide audience, but is specifically designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and researchers in the fields of biochemistry, molecular biology, physiology, biophysics, plant biology, phycology and biotechnology.

Editorial Reviews
Review
` ... can be recommended not only to graduate students and researchers in photosynthesis, but also to those in the fields of biochemistry, molecular biology, biophysics, physiology and phycology. Many of them will learn that Chlamydomonas is an excellent model system for biological research, and they might use this organism in their own research. This essential book should be present in general research libraries and university libraries and in those of photosynthesis and genetic institutions.' Journal of Plant Physiology, 155:2 (1999)

4.0 out of 5 stars
the new testament of green yeast,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Molecular Biology of Chloroplasts and Mitochondria in (Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration) (Hardcover)
This book covers not only the state of the art in using Chlamydomonas to study chloroplasts and mitochondria, it has useful chapters on general chlamydomonas techniques such as transformation. Definately a useful book for any lab using Chlamydomonas. It is probably too expensive for most individuals, which is why I only give it four stars.
