Since 1994, the Phytochemical Society of North America has devoted
its annual symposia to topics with biological perspectives. Our
last four volumes have dealt with medicinal plants (1994),
plant/insect interactions (1995), food phytochemicals (1996), and
plant/microbe interactions (1997), respectively. The Symposium held
in Pullman, Washington, July 26-31, 1998 brought many aspects of
these previous symposia once again to the forefront. This time,
however, there was greater emphasis on the potential applications
of phytochemistry to the diverse topics of human health and
nutrition and plant defense. As we learned about innovative uses of
molecular biology as it is being applied to these topics, we were
reminded once again of the biochemical th foundation on which these
advances rest. On the occasion of the 75 birthday of G.H. Neal
Towers, which we were privileged to celebrate, a perspective of
where we began and how far we have advanced was made patently real
for those in attendance. The papers assembled in this volume were
presented during the Sympo- sium. Roughly grouped under three broad
topics, they include: I. Drug Discov- ery and Pathway Engineering
toward New MedicinallNutriceutical Targets (papers by Cragg,
Croteau, Thompson, Costa, McLaughlin, Dixon, and Matern), 2. Roles
for Polyphenols-Biosynthesis and Applications (Gross, Hillis,
Haslam, and Ferreira), 3. New Chemical Prospects and Plant Defense
(Asakawa, Selmar, Houghton, and Mizutani).
