Chemistry and Biology of One-Three-B-Glucans

Detailed scientific monograph of a type of polysaccharide polymer, (1(r)3)-b-Glucans, found in most higher and many lower plants, which are considered to have importance in such areas as agriculture, biotechnology and medicine. Examines, reviews and extracts information from the literature on (1(r)3)-b-Glucans in fields as diverse as polymer chemistry and plant physiology. Includes index and detailed bibliography. Stone is professor of biochemistry at La Trobe University and Clarke is professor of botany at the University of Melbourne.Stone, Bruce A. is the author of 'Chemistry and Biology of One-Three-B-Glucans', published 1993 under ISBN 9781863244091 and ISBN 1863244093.
