Description: 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 metabolites. 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.
