520 |a This timely reference provides an in-depth and up-to-date study of the most important groups of plant secondary compounds. No other work features such detailed diagrams of the biosynthetic pathways leading to the most important groups of secondary metabolites, as well as the structures of major types of compounds, their distribution in various taxonomic groupings of plants, and the evolutionary and ecological roles of these compounds. Plant Secondary Metabolism presents a basic understanding of the origin of the compounds, the nature of the precursors involved, and the basic reactions, mechanisms, and stereochemistry. The origin of groups of secondary metabolites is linked to evolutionary principles, and their biological activity is viewed in a context of chemical ecology. Topics are treated comprehensively, enabling the reader to understand not only a particular group of compounds, but also how each group fits into the whole. In addition, the text allows readers to systematically survey various secondary metabolites and gain a quick working knowledge which can be applied to problems in a particular field. Those researchers and students who will be most intrigued by this publication's broad overview on plant secondary metabolites come from a diverse range of disciplines, including agronomy, anthropology, biochemistry, biology, botany, chemistry, ecology, entomology, food science, forestry, geology, horticulture, pharmacognosy, plant biology, plant sciences, toxicology, and zoology.
