Plant biochemistry is a rapidly developing area within the agricultural sciences that is paramount to advancements in other agricultural sectors such as plant breeding, plant protection, and plant production. To ensure progress in these areas, it is vital to have a strong foundation in the chemistry and biochemical mechanisms underlying the synthesis of various plant components. In recent times, biotechnology and biochemistry have been working in tandem to address numerous challenges faced by humans and other living organisms.

This book has been designed to provide valuable information to graduate and post-graduate students studying agriculture and biology. Additionally, it serves as a useful reference for researchers in plant breeding, agronomy, plant physiology, and plant protection. By utilizing this resource, future generations will be better equipped to tackle global issues and find innovative solutions.
