Phytochemical Signals and Plant-Microbe Interactions
edited by John T. Romeo, Kelsey R. Downum,
and Rob Verpoorte
The research presented in Phytochemical Signals and Plant-Microbe Interactions covers traditional areas in plant chemical ecology, and also addresses fundamental issues on the involvement of phytochemicals in intra- and intraspecific signaling, applications of the knowledge gained from such studies, and evolutionary origins.
Phytochemical Signals and Plant-Microbe Interactions discusses:
- the multifunctional roles of many phytochemicals
- the power of molecular techniques for studying biosynthetic pathways and gene function
- the central role of natural products in pathogenesis and disease resistance
- the identification of promising areas for future research and development of applications
- the emerging role and significance of saponins as antifungal agents
- the concept of multiple roles played by natural products in ecological systems
- the application of molecular biological tools for modifying the chemistry of plants for man's use.
