Plant-derived Natural Products Synthesis, Function, and Application

Plant-derived Natural Products Synthesis, Function, and Application / edited by Anne E. Osbourn, Virginia Lanzotti.

Plant-derived natural products: Synthesis, function and application Plants produce a huge array of natural products (secondary metabolites). These compounds have important ecological functions, providing protection against attack by herbivores and microbes and serving as attractants for pollinators...
