Plant secondary metabolism is an economically important source of
fine chemicals, such as drugs, insecticides, dyes, flavours, and
fragrances. Moreover, important traits of plants such as taste,
flavour, smell, colour, or resistance against pests and diseases
are also related to secondary metabolites. The genetic modification
of plants is feasible nowadays. What does the possibility of
engineering plant secondary metabolite pathways mean? In this book,
firstly a general introduction is given on plant secondary
metabolism, followed by an overview of the possible approaches that
could be used to alter secondary metabolite pathways. In a series
of chapters from various authorities in the field, an overview is
given of the state of the art for important groups of secondary
metabolites. No books have been published on this topic so far.
This book will thus be a unique source of information for all those
involved with plants as chemical factories of fine chemicals and
those involved with the quality of food and ornamental plants. It
will be useful in teaching graduate courses in the field of
metabolic engineering in plants.
