Bøker i Recent Advances in Phytochemistry-serien

Each of these articles describes the integration of several different approaches to ask and then answer interesting questions regarding the function of interesting plant metabolites, either in the plant itself or in interactions with the environment (natural setting or human health application).

Beale and Ward outline how metabolomics approaches can be brought to bear on plant biosynthetic questions and quickly lead to important advances in our understanding or how plants produce important metabolites.

This text provides both review and primary research articles for a broad audience of biologists, chemists, biochemists, pharmacologists, clinicians and nutrition experts, especially those interested in the biosynthesis, structure, function and/or bioactivity of plant natural products.

Includes papers that were originally presented at the joint meeting of the Phytochemical Society of North America and the Mid-Atlantic Plant Molecular Biology Society, in August 2000. This volume covers a wide range of applications from molecular biology to phytochemistry.

Offers reviews of our knowledge on the evolutionary origin of plant secondary metabolites and the enzymes involved in their biosynthesis. This title includes chapters that cover topics including Role of secondary metabolites in evolution; and Evolutionary origins of polyketides and terpenes.

Includes chapters based on papers presented in the symposium entitled 'Chemical Ecology and Phytochemistry of Forest Ecosystems'. This book includes a collection of papers presented at the 44th Annual meeting of the Phytochemical Society of North America. It includes discussions on genomics research in forest health.

Focuses on the role of phytochemistry in the developments in biology brought about by the application of large-scale genomics approaches. This title discusses several functional genomic approaches. It is of interest to scientists, students and individuals interested in developments in the biochemistry, chemistry and molecular biology of plants.
