The plant terpenoids exhibit enormous structural and functional diversity. They are involved in regulating plant growth, acting as accessory pigments in photosynthesis, and attracting animals to plants for pollination purposes. This is the most up-to-date work on the subject, authored by a panel of distinguished international experts. It reviews the chemistry, chemistry, chemotaxonomy, biochemistry, biosynthesis, physiology, pharmacology, and toxicology of plant terpenoids. The work...
