Opis

A dozen papers from a June-to-July 1993 meeting in Pacific Grove, California summarize the latest advances by biochemists and molecular biologists in modifying the patterns of secondary metabolisms in plants, and the application of the resulting metabolites in such areas as food, pigments, pharmaceu
