Metabolic Engineering of Plant Secondary Metabolism

Metabolic Engineering of Plant Secondary Metabolism edited by R. Verpoorte, A. Wilhelm Alfermann.

Plant secondary metabolism is an economically important source of fine chemicals, such as drugs, insecticides, dyes, flavours, and fragrances. Moreover, important traits of plants such as taste, flavour, smell, colour, or resistance against pests and diseases are also related to secondary metabolite...
