| Title | Photoprotection in Plants : Optical Screening-based Mechanisms |
| Author(s) | Solovchenko, Alexei |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2010. |
| Description | XIV, 170 p. 80 illus., 18 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Optical screening of excessive and potentially harmful solar radiation is an important photoprotective mechanism, though it has received much less attention in comparison with other systems preventing photooxidative damage to photoautotrophic organisms. This photoprotection in the form of screening appears to be especially important for juvenile and senescing plants as well as under environmental stresses???i.e. in situations where the efficiency of enzymatic ROS elimination, DNA repair and other ???classical??? photoprotective systems could be impaired. This book represents an attempt to develop an integral view of optical screening-based photoprotection in microalgae and higher plants. Towards this end, the key groups of pigments involved in the screening of ultraviolet and visible components of solar radiation in microalgae and higher plants, and the patterns of their accumulation and distribution within plant cells and tissues, are described. Special attention is paid to the manifestations of screening pigment accumulation in the optical spectra of plants. It is also demonstrated that understanding these effects and their relationships to screening pigments??? makeup and spectroscopy in plants provides valuable insights into the state of plants??? long-term photoacclimation, as well as ample opportunities for the non-destructive quantification of screening pigments and the assessment of the efficiency of photoprotection providing by these pigments in situ |

| Title | Understanding Insulin Action : Principles and Molecular Mechanisms |
| Author(s) | Espinal, J |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer US, 1989. |
| Description | 129 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Every year between three and four hundred papers are published on the topic of insulin action. This extraordinary publication rate prevents any author from includ?? ing an exhaustive bibliography in any review or book. Perhaps due to this there is no single text that attempts to cover the effects and the mechanism of action of insulin. This book is such an attempt. I intend to present a review of the physiological effects of insulin, the pathology of defects in the action of insulin, and the current views on the mechanism of action of this hormone. I make no apology for the fact that the bibliography will not be extensive and that the amount of experimental detail and data discussed will be kept to a relevant minimum. This book is not intended for the expert in the field, but for the second- or third-year undergraduate and graduate student of medicine, biochemistry, physiology or related disciplines, and will be valuable as a reference source for research workers. The book is presented as a guide, a summary of the ideas and facts; it will present a reader with a foretaste of a fascinating and ever-changing field. I have attempted to be up-to-date with published research work. Any significant contributions to the field not included in the first draft have been added as footnotes. I assume a basic knowledge of the metabolic pathways of carbohydrates, fats and proteins |

| Title | Plant Membranes : A biophysical approach to structure, development and senescence |
| Author(s) | Leshem, Y.Y |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 1992. |
| Description | XIII, 266 p. 27 illus., 4 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The plasma membrane is at once the window through which the cell senses the environment and the portal through which the environment influences the structure and activities of the cell. Its importance in cellular physiology can thus hardly be overestimated, since constant flow of materials between cell and environment is essential to the well-being of any biological system. The nature of the materials mov?? ing into the cell is also critical, since some substances are required for maintenance and growth, while others, because of their toxicity, must either be rigorously excluded or permitted to enter only after chemical alteration. Such alteration frequently permits the compounds to be sequestered in special cellular compartments having different types of membranes. This type of homogeneity, plus the fact that the wear and tear of transmembrane molecular traffic compels the system to be constantly monitored and repaired, means that the membrane system of any organism must be both structurally complex and dy?? namic. Membranes have been traditionally difficult to study because of their fragility and small diameter. In the last several decades, however, remarkable advances have been made because of techniques permit?? ting the bulk isolation of membranes from homogenized cells. From such isolated membranes have come detailed physical and chemical analyses that have given us a detailed working model of membrane. We now can make intelligent guesses about the structural and func?? tional interactions of membrane lipids, phospholipids, proteins, sterols and water |
