Function of the Genetic Material: Expression of Nuclear Genes in Higher Plants

  • Chapter
  • 102 Accesses

Part of the book series: Progress in Botany / Fortschritte der Botanik ((BOTANY,volume 39))

Abstract

The pathways of gene expression in prokaryotic cells are understood in great detail. Investigations in eukaryotes revealed a high degree of homology. The intention of this article is to cover the mechanisms of the expression of nuclear genes in higher plant cells. The sections will be introduced by short summaries of the general feature with special references.

Gene regulation in higher plants has been or is currently reviewed in this periodical by HÜTTER, NAGL, HERZFELD, DÖRFLING, and FELLENBERG. Only some aspects of gene regulation will be discussed here.
