Current Status of Plant Biochemistry Research

Plant Biochemistry is one of the key areas in Biochemistry that deals with chemical processes and molecular functions of plants. Simply, it helps understanding how biological molecules give rise to the processes that occur within living plant cells. Research in this particular area of plant science contributes significantly to resolve agricultural and pharmaceutical problems, predominantly by controlling information flow through biochemical signaling and the flow of chemical energy through metabolism in plants. Plant Biochemistry is also closely related to Plant Molecular Biology that deals with the study of the molecular mechanisms by which genetic information encoded in DNA is able to result in the processes of life in plants.
