Functions of Plant Secondary Metabolites and Their Exploitation in Biotechnology (Sheffield Annual Plant Reviews) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Secondary metabolites function as defense mechanisms for plants. Science has learned that certain herbivores adopt secondary metabolites for their own protection. This discovery has excited the scientific community about the possible technological exploitation of these unique plant products. Agricultural researchers believe that secondary metabolites will assist in the breeding of stronger crops, and the manufacture of biorational pesticides. Plant defense mechanisms can also be utilized in medicine as therapeutic agents. This landmark volume presents articles by team experts from leading laboratories. Each chapter considers the current understanding of secondary metabolites in nature and the potential utilization of those qualities by industry. The secondary metabolites of plants were once considered to be waste products; today, their true value is understood. With that knowledge comes exciting possibilities and technological advances.
