Harborne, J. B.
Introduction to ecological biochemistry / - 4th ed. - London ; San Diego : Academic Press, c1993. - xiv, 318 p. : ill. ; 23 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and indexes.
Plant and its biochemical adaptation to the environment -- Biochemistry of plant pollination -- Plant toxins and their effects on animals -- Hormonal interactions between plants and animals -- Insect feeding preferences -- Feeding preferences of vertebrates, including man -- Co-evolutionary arms race: plant defence and animal response -- Animal pheromones and defence substances -- Biochemical interactions between higher plants -- Higher plant-lower plant interactions: phytoalexins and phytotoxins.
This edition contains new research which has resulted from the ability to isolate trace amounts from plant tissues. Also new to this edition are sections on the cost of chemical defense and the release of predator-attracting volatiles.
