Rev. ed. of: Functions of plant secondary metabolites and their exploitation in biotechnology. Includes bibliographical references and index. Introduction / Michael Wink -- Molecular modes of action of defensive secondary metabolites / Michael Wink and Oskar Schimmer -- Chemical defence in marine ecosystems / Annika Putz and Peter Proksch -- Plant-microbe interactions and secondary metabolites with antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties / Jürgen Reichling -- New medical applications of plant secondary metabolites / Jörg Heilmann -- Production of natural products by plant cell and organ cultures / August-Wilhelm Alfermann. "This brand new Annual Plant Reviews volume is the second edition of the highly successful and well-received Functions of Plant Secondary Metabolites and their Exploitation in Biotechnology (Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 3). This exciting new volume provides an up-to-date survey of the functions of plant secondary metabolites, their modes of action and their use in pharmacology as molecular probes, in medicine as therapeutic agents, and in agriculture as biorational pesticides. |
