Alkaloids: Biochemistry, Ecology, and Medicinal Applications Hardcover - 1998

by Margaret F. Roberts (Editor)


From the publisher

Not since the late 1970s has a single work presented the biology of this heterogenous group of secondary alkaloids in such depth. Alkaloids, a unique treatise featuring leaders in the field, presents both the historical use of alkaloids and the latest discoveries in

  • the biochemistry of alkaloid production in plants
  • alkaloid ecology, including marine invertebrates, animal and plant parasites, and
  • alkaloids as antimicrobial and current medicinal use
. Highlights include chapters on the chemical ecology of alkaloids in host-predator interactions, and on the compartmentation of alkaloids synthesis, transport, and storage. Extensive cross-referencing in tabular format makes this volume an excellent reference.

First line

It may be assumed that plants developed a wide variety of secondary metabolites during hundreds of millions of years of evolution as a means of defending themselves against herbivores, microorganisms, viruses, and other plants (see Chapter 11 ).
