Book Review

Plant Proteins. G. Norton. 352 pp. illus. Butterworths, Boston, 1978. $39.95.

This book, a collection of papers presented at the 24th Nott ingham Easter School in Agricultural Science (1976), deals with: properties and biosynthesis of plant proteins, development of protein reserves in seeds, undesirable factors associated with plant proteins, production of plant proteins, improvement of plant protein quality and yield, nutrition aspects, and plant proteins in the food industry. The topics are germane to the problem of feeding an ever-increasing human population already suffering from a deficiency of adequate quality protein.

While it is impossible to offer a complete treatise on plant proteins in one volume, this collection does select specific topics in the broader areas of plant protein synthesis, the use of genetic modification, and the utilization of plant proteins. Each article is,presented by an expert and is accompanied by a suitable reference list.

Plant Proteins will prove a valuable reference for any graduate course dealing with the world food crisis or with applied botany. Researchers will find it useful for reviewing literature through the early 1970s. Due to the detailed nature of the material presented, the collection will be of limited use in undergraduate courses where students lack sufficient knowledge in cell biology, biochemistry, genetics, and food technology and are also in- sufficiently informed to discern the particular bias presented by an author. It should, however, be included in any library seeking to maintain currency in botany, nutrition, or food technology.
