商品描述
Natural bioactive compounds have become an integral part of plant-microbe interactions geared toward adaptation to environmental changes. They regulate symbiosis, induce seed germination, and manifest allelopathic effects, i.e., they inhibit the growth of competing plant species in their vicinity. In addition, the use of natural bioactive compounds and their products is considered to be suitable and safe in e.g. alternative medicine. Thus, there is an unprecedented need to meet the increasing demand for plant secondary metabolites in the flavor and fragrance, food, and pharmaceutical industries. However, it is difficult to obtain a constant quantity of compounds from the cultivated plants, as their yield fluctuates due to several factors including genotypic variations, the geography, edaphic conditions, harvesting and processing methods. Yet familiarity with these substances and the exploration of various approaches could open new avenues in their production.
This book describes the basis of bioactive plant compounds, their mechanisms and molecular actions with regard to various human diseases, and their applications in the drug, cosmetic and herbal industries. Accordingly, it offers a valuable resource for students, educators, researchers, and healthcare experts involved in agronomy, ecology, crop science, molecular biology, stress physiology, and natural products.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
天然生物活性化合物已成為植物與微生物互動的重要組成部分，旨在適應環境變化。它們調節共生關係、誘導種子發芽，並表現出拮抗作用，即抑制周圍競爭植物物種的生長。此外，天然生物活性化合物及其產品在替代醫學等領域被認為是合適且安全的。因此，滿足香料和香氛、食品及製藥行業對植物次級代謝物日益增長的需求，已成為前所未有的必要。然而，從栽培植物中獲得穩定的化合物數量是困難的，因為其產量因基因型變異、地理環境、土壤條件、收穫和加工方法等多種因素而波動。然而，對這些物質的熟悉以及探索各種方法可能會為其生產開辟新的途徑。
本書描述了生物活性植物化合物的基礎、它們在各種人類疾病中的機制和分子作用，以及它們在藥物、化妝品和草藥行業中的應用。因此，本書為從事農學、生態學、作物科學、分子生物學、壓力生理學和天然產品研究的學生、教育工作者、研究人員和醫療專家提供了寶貴的資源。
