Plant Secondary Metabolites 1st Edition

Grab your copy of Plant Secondary Metabolites, 1st Edition — an essential reference that unlocks the chemistry, biology, and practical applications of the molecules that make plants uniquely adaptive and valuable.

This book draws you into the world of phytochemistry, offering clear explanations of major classes of secondary metabolites — alkaloids, terpenoids, phenolics and more — and how they are biosynthesized, regulated and deployed by plants across tropical, temperate and Mediterranean ecosystems. Rich in contemporary research insights, it bridges fundamental science with real-world uses in medicine, agriculture, food science and natural-product discovery.

Designed for graduate students, researchers, agronomists and industry professionals, the text balances rigorous detail with accessible writing. You’ll find discussions on ecological roles and plant–herbivore interactions, analytical approaches for compound identification, and the therapeutic and commercial potentials of plant-derived compounds. Case studies and practical perspectives make complex pathways and bioactivity studies approachable and applicable.

Whether you’re building a library for a research lab, preparing for coursework in natural Books or scouting botanical leads for drug or crop improvement programs, Plant Secondary Metabolites, 1st Edition is a globally relevant, modern resource that informs and inspires. Add this authoritative volume to your collection today to deepen your understanding of the biochemical forces shaping plant life and human applications.
