Ecological Chemistry and Biochemistry of Plant Terpenoids by Phytochemical Society of Europe Book PDF Summary
The plant terpenoids exhibit enormous structural and functional diversity. They are involved in regulating plant growth, acting as accessory pigments in photosynthesis, and attracting animals to plants for pollination purposes. This is the most up-to-date work on the subject, authored by a panel of distinguished international experts. It reviews the chemistry, chemistry, chemotaxonomy, biochemistry, biosynthesis, physiology, pharmacology, and toxicology of plant terpenoids. The work will interest plant and ecological biochemists, and plant scientists.
