Polyamines

  • Chapter
Cell and Tissue Culture in Forestry

Part of the book series: Forestry Sciences ((FOSC,volume 24-26))

Abstract

Amines are found throughout the plant kingdom and can be aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic (32). They fulfill several functions and are frequently derived from amino acids by decarboxylation. In addition, they serve as percursors of various alkaloids.
