„For students, researchers, and professionals in plantbiochemistry, Wink (pharmaceutical biology, Heidelberg U., Germany)presents a survey of the biochemistry and physiology of plantsecondary metabolism.“ (SciTech Book News, December2010)
Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 40, Biochemistry of Plant Secondary Metabolism
von Michael WinkThis brand new Annual Plant Reviews volume is the second edition ofthe highly successful and well-received Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 2.
This exciting new volume provides an up-to-date survey of thebiochemistry and physiology of plant secondary metabolism. Thevolume commences with an overview of the biochemistry, physiologyand function of secondary metabolism, followed by detailed reviewsof the major groups of secondary metabolites: alkaloids andbetalains, cyanogenic glucosides, glucosinolates and nonproteinamino acids, phenyl propanoids and related phenolics, terpenoids, cardiac glycosides and saponins. A final chapter discusses theevolution of secondary metabolism.
This carefully compiled new edition brings together chaptersfrom some of the world's leading experts in plant secondarymetabolism. Completely revised and brought right up to date withmuch new information, this volume is an essential purchase foradvanced students, researchers and professionals in biochemistry, physiology, molecular biology, genetics, plant sciences, agriculture, medicine, pharmacology and pharmacy, working in theacademic and industrial sectors, including those working in thepesticide and pharmaceutical industries. Libraries in alluniversities and research establishments where these subjects arestudied and taught will need copies of this excellent volume ontheir shelves.
* A companion volume Annual Plant Reviews Volume 39, Functions and Biotechnology of Plant Secondary Metabolites, SecondEdition, Edited by M. Wink, is also available.
