Description
Plant Secondary Metabolites Chemistry and Role provides an in-depth exploration of the chemical compounds produced by plants beyond their primary metabolic needs. This authoritative text examines the biosynthetic pathways that lead to the formation of alkaloids, phenolics, terpenoids, and other secondary metabolites, offering readers a mechanistic understanding of plant chemistry.
The book presents a systematic approach to understanding how plants synthesize these complex molecules and the ecological, pharmaceutical, and industrial roles they play. With detailed coverage of chemical structures, enzymatic mechanisms, and regulatory processes, this work serves as both an educational resource and a reference for researchers, chemists, and botanists. It bridges the gap between theoretical chemistry and practical applications in medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology.
