The compartmentation of genetic information is a fundamental feature of the eukaryotic cell. The metabolic capacity of a eukaryotic (plant) cell and the steps leading to it are overwhelmingly an endeavour of a joint genetic cooperation between nucleus/cytosol, plastids, and mitochondria. Alter ation of the genetic material in anyone of these compartments or exchange of organelles between species can seriously affect harmoniously balanced growth of an organism. Although the biological significance of this genetic design has been vividly evident since the discovery of non-Mendelian inheritance by Baur and Correns at the beginning of this century, and became indisputable in principle after Renner's work on interspecific nuclear/plastid hybrids (summarized in his classical article in 1934), studies on the genetics of organelles have long suffered from the lack of respectabil ity. Non-Mendelian inheritance was considered a research sideline~ifnot a freak~by most geneticists, which becomes evident when one consults common textbooks. For instance, these have usually impeccable accounts of photosynthetic and respiratory energy conversion in chloroplasts and mitochondria, of metabolism and global circulation of the biological key elements C, N, and S, as well as of the organization, maintenance, and function of nuclear genetic information. In contrast, the heredity and molecular biology of organelles are generally treated as an adjunct, and neither goes as far as to describe the impact of the integrated genetic system.

Plant Cell Organelles contains the proceedings of the Phytochemical Group Symposium held in London on April 10-12, 1967. Contributors explore most of the ideas concerning the structure, biochemistry, and function of the nuclei, chloroplasts, mitochondria, vacuoles, and other organelles of plant cells. This book is organized into 13 chapters and begins with an overview of the enzymology of plant cell organelles and the localization of enzymes using cytochemical techniques. The text then discusses the structure of the nuclear envelope, chromosomes, and nucleolus, along with chromosome sequestration and replication. The next chapters focus on the structure and function of the mitochondria of higher plant cells, biogenesis in yeast, carbon pathways, and energy transfer function. The book also considers the chloroplast, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi bodies, and the microtubules. The final chapters discuss protein synthesis in cell organelles; polysomes in plant tissues; and lysosomes and spherosomes in plant cells. This book is a valuable source of information for postgraduate workers, although much of the material could be used in undergraduate courses.

While there are a few plant cell biology books that are currently available, these are expensive, methods-oriented monographs. The present volume is a textbook for "upper" undergraduate and beginning graduate students." This textbook stresses concepts and is inquiry-oriented. To this end, there is extensive use of original research literature. As we live in an era of literature explosion, one must be selective. These judgements will naturally vary with each investigator. Input was sought from colleagues in deciding the literature to include. In addition to provision of select research literature, this volume presents citations and summaries of certain laboratory methods. In this connection, the textbook stresses quantitative data to enhance the student?s analytical abilities. Thus the volume contains computer-spread sheets and references to statistical packages, e.g. Harvard Graphics and Statistica.

Membranes separate the interior medium from the exterior. Obviously, separation does not mean isolation and the membranes, as we can see them at present, act as selective filters across which different types of compounds such as salts, waste, nutriments, nucleotides, etc are transported. Depending on the molecule to be transported several ways can be used. How nucleotides are transported through the thylakoid membranes to the lumen and used in the chloroplast is the aim of the chapter by Drs. Spetea and Thuswaldner, while that of Drs. Paulilo and Falkenkrog reviews the composition of nuclear pores that mediate all the traffic between the nucleus and cytoplasm. In which ways, during evolution, the first cells were formed and how the different compartments appeared remain as tremendously exciting questions, but so far unsolved in many cases. Several theories have been proposed. The best known is that proposed by Margulis (1970), according to which an ancestral anaerobic prokaryote would become able to ingest solid particles such as other prokaryotes. In some cases the ingested bacteria continued to live and have evolved to give different types of membranes that eukaryotic cells contain today. This theory, also called the endosymbiotic theory, explains the origin of both the chloroplasts and the mitochondria, two major organelles of plant cells. More recently, another symbiotic theory has been proposed by Martin and Müller (1998) to explain the origin of mitochondria. While the contribution by Dr. Bizanz and collaborators traces back the unexpected fate of plastids in today's prokaryotic parasites of animal cells, the chapters by Drs. Solymosi and Schoefs, Dr. Chamarovsky and collaborators and, Dr. Rohacek and collaborators are dedicated to the biogenesis and functioning of the chloroplast membranes. The way of differentiation of the other organelles and cell compartments remain so far as unanswered questions. The search for analoguous compartments in lower organisms may provide the first elements of an answer. The chapter by Dr. H. Guo enters in this frame and offers a good example for the existence of a putative, so far unrevealed compartment analogue to the higher plant vacuole in cyanobacteria. The plant cell turgor is maintained thanks to the functioning of two typical compartments of plant cells i.e. the cell-wall and the vacuole, but these compartments play other important roles in plant physiology. The chapters by Dr. El Gharras and Dr. Martinez on the accumulation of betalain pigments in vacuoles and strawberry cell-wall softening, respectively, illustrate these aspects of the field. Even if plant cells are surrounded by a thick and rigid cell-wall, their interior is highly dynamic: the organelles are able to move. The contribution by Dr. Foissner analyzes the dynamic of mitochondria in Chara internodal cells. In contrast to animals, plants cannot escape from adverse conditions. Consequently, they have developed strategies to survive to biotic or/and abiotic stresses. In this book the description of the answers of plants to several stresses are the aim of some chapters. While the contribution by Dr. Ben Khaled and collaborators reports on the peroxidase activity in palm plantlets inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi in the presence of biocontrol agents, the chapter by Dr. Dumas-Gaudot and collaborators, describes the modifications in the protein composition occuring during the differentiation of the arbuscules. The formation of the arbuscule is accompanied by a redistribution of the colonized root cell organelles around the arbuscule and by a dramatic change in the plastid metabolism allowing them to produce secondary metabolites, including secondary carotenoid and apocarotenoid molecules (chapter by Dr. Fester). Abiotic stresses, such as nitrogen deficiency, are also able to trigger the production of secondary carotenoids. Dr. Lemoine and collaborators review such a strategy in green algae. Because secondary carotenoids are usually high added value compounds, the knowledge about the functioning of the different compartments in such a production is also of great importance for the economic side of plant science s.l. How chloroplasts cope with heavy metals is discussed in the chapter by Dr. Poirier and collaborators. During the last years, new technical tools such as confocal imaging became more popular. Their use revealed the presence of new compartments, sometimes being divided into subtle sub-compartments. The intention of this book is to bring together a serie of outstanding contributions dealing with the biosynthesis, content, distribution, function, and physiology of various plant cell compartments. By combining the major contributions in this book, I wished to contribute to the propagation of the recent developments in plant cell biochemistry and physiology, to the discovery of the wonderful plant world and, also, to mutual exchange of ideas. Without the excellent work of the different authors, who have taken great care to present an up-to-date review of their field and 'Research Signpost' as the commercial editor, this book could not have been produced. I wish to dedicate this book to the different mentors in Belgium, Czech Republic and France, who showed me the scientific way and, also to my wife for her everlasting support to me.

Its usually pretty easy to tell if an organism is an animal or a plant at a single glance. Interestingly enough, plant and animal cells are also easy to tell apart. Readers will learn the organellescell partsthat are particular to animal or plant cells. They will be exposed to the wide variety of plant and animal cells, as well as the characteristics that makes specialized cells so perfectly suited to their functions. Special attention is paid to photosynthesis and cellular respiration, including the complementary nature of the two processes.

Morphological differences between cells and the exis tence of morphologically distinct particles have been examined since cells were first recognized. Each techno logical advance in detection and visualization has led to the description of different organelles and cell types. Basic biochemical processes in cells were recognized and are now weIl understood. It is only recently however, that research has expanded to include the specific meta bolic function of the specialized cell types and organelles. In some cases metabolic roles were recognized when the organelles were first described, e.g., chloroplasts, mito chondria, etc., in others the metabolic role remains unknown. Chemical and biochemical specialization in plants or their organelles is equally challenging. Although biochemists have laboured intensivelyon many isolated plant organelles, it is only recently that technical advances have permitted the examination of specialization in the metabolism of cell types. This area of research, although under intensive investigation in some areas of plant metabolism, is still in its infancy. Further developments in methodology or in production of specific genetic lines of plants will greatly improve our understanding of the specialization of different tissues and cell types. This volume describes the current status in the dis cipline as presented in a Symposium on the Cellular and Subcellular Specialization in Plant Metabolism during the Annual Meeting of the Phytochemical Society of North America, at Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., on August 10-14, 1981.
