Description
Plant biochemistry is a study of plant specific bio-interactions at a molecular level. Interactions of biomolecules during such processes as photosynthesis, respiration, nutrition, hormonal regulation and procreation are researched giving deep insights into plant function and evolution. Topics in this field include, but are not limited to herbicide metabolism, tolerance of heavy metal toxicity and plant proteomics. Knowledge of plant biochemistry may be used in bio-engineering and synthetic biology.
