E-Books →Plant Natural Products Synthesis, Biological Functions and Practical Applications

In contrast to existing books which either focus exclusively on the pharmacological properties of plant natural products or cover the secondary metabolism of plants as one section in a general plant science book, this is the first to cover all aspects in one volume. It has all the features of a modern textbook, including color figures and a complimentary website at wiley-vch.de/home/plantnaturalproducts
In addition, the introductory chapters provide sufficient background knowledge in the chemistry and biochemistry of plant natural products and their biotechnological applications to allow its use as a true stand-alone text for student courses.
