Description
Demonstrates how advances in plant chemical biology cantranslate to field applications With contributions from a team of leading researchers andpioneers in the field, this book explains how chemical biology isused as a tool to enhance our understanding of plant biology.Readers are introduced to a variety of chemical biology studiesthat have provided novel insights into plant physiology and plantcellular processes. Moreover, they will discover that chemicalbiology not only leads to a better understanding of the underlyingmechanisms of plant biology, but also the development of practicalapplications. For example, the authors discuss small molecules thatcan be used to identify targets of herbicides and develop newherbicides and plant growth regulators. The book begins with a historical perspective on plant chemicalbiology. Next, the authors introduce the chemical biology toolboxneeded to perform successful studies, with chapters covering: Sources of small molecules Identification of new chemical tools by high-throughputscreening (HTS) Use of chemical biology to study plant physiology Use of chemical biology to study plant cellular processes Target identification Translation of plant chemical biology from the lab to thefield Based on the latest findings and extensively referenced, thebook explores available compound collections, principles of assaydesign, and the use of new research tools for the development ofnew applications. Plant Chemical Biology is recommended for students andprofessionals in all facets of plant biology, including molecularbiology, physiology, biochemistry, agriculture, horticulture, andagronomy. All readers will discover new approaches that can lead tothe development of a healthier and more plentiful global foodsupply.
