The salicylic acid signal in plants

  • Chapter
Signals and Signal Transduction Pathways in Plants

Abstract

Plants are one of the world’s richest sources of natural medicines. The use of plants and plant extracts for healing dates back to earliest recorded history. Today, such plant-derived medicines as quinine, digitalis, opiates and morphine are widely used, while new natural chemicals such as the putative anti-cancer drug taxol from yew tree bark are being characterized and developed.
