In the context of primary metabolism in plants, this book aims at linking the remarkable advances in molecular genetics with the emerging roles of metabolomics, proteomics and transcriptomics with some traditional biochemistry, such as protein chemistry and enzymology. In a lucid preface, the editors give a clear statement of the needs, in terms of research strategy, for understanding biological processes in the post-genome era. Metabolic regulation and metabolic control are defined and illustrated in the preface, which provides the discussion thread shared by all the authors. A major strength of this book is the care the authors take throughout their work to make the link between
