Alkaloids Biochemistry, Ecology, and Medicinal Applications

Alkaloids Biochemistry, Ecology, and Medicinal Applications / edited by Margaret F. Roberts.

Not since the late 1970s has a single work presented the biology of this heterogenous group of secondary alkaloids in such depth. Alkaloids, a unique treatise featuring leaders in the field, presents both the historical use of alkaloids and the latest discoveries in the biochemistry of alkaloid prod...
