From the reviews:“This volume of AIPH is useful in that it addresses a wide spectrum of readers as well as the researchers in the field, just as volume 6 did. It would be an attractive addition to the graduate student and research scholar’s desks. … this book is definitely very timely and much needed for plant scientists, microbiologists and agricultural scientists. … We recommend this book to all university and research libraries around the world. It is a value added book of the AIPH series.” (Prasanna Mohanty and Jogadhenu Syamsundar Prakash, Current Science, Vol. 99 (8), April, 2010)“Lipids in photosynthesis is essential reading in a currently fast-changing topic. … it does provide an interesting and useful overview to most of the lipid pathways. The detail of each chapter, sometimes usefully placed in a historical context, is outstanding and very well referenced to the original literature. This detailed referencing, as well as the well-edited style of the book, will make this not only of technical importance but also a useful and authoritative text book on the subject for advanced students and academics.” (Matthew P. Davey and Alison G. Smith, Annals of Botany, Vol. 111 (3), March, 2013)
