About this book
The genetic modification of plants is feasible nowadays. What does the possibility of engineering plant secondary metabolite pathways mean? In this book, firstly a general introduction is given on plant secondary metabolism, followed by an overview of the possible approaches that could be used to alter secondary metabolite pathways. In a series of chapters from various authorities in the field, an overview is given of the state of the art for important groups of secondary metabolites.
No books have been published on this topic so far. This book will thus be a unique source of information for all those involved with plants as chemical factories of fine chemicals and those involved with the quality of food and ornamental plants. It will be useful in teaching graduate courses in the field of metabolic engineering in plants.
Reviews
Journal of Plant Physiology, 158:7 (2000)
`The book is a wonderful up-to-date comprehensive overview of the plant secondary metabolites field and will be very useful for plant biotechnologists. Moreover, this review is also suitable fo students and more generally for a broader readership.'
