Carotenoids are a large class of isoprenoid pigments produced by
plants and certain microbes. More than 700 naturally occurring
carotenoids have been identified. Apocarotenoids are tailored from
carotenoids by oxidative enzymes. Apocarotenoids act as visual or
volatile signals to attract pollinating and seed dispersal agents.
They are also the key players in allelopathic interactions and
plant defense. Biology, Chemistry and Applications of
Apocarotenoids provides detailed account of the fundamental
chemistry of apocarotenoids and the basic methods used in
carotenoid research, and critical discussions of the biochemistry,
functions, and applications of these important compounds. Topics
covered in the proposed book include various aspects of the roles
of apocarotenoids in colour and colouration, photosynthesis and
other photofunctions and protection. The formation and roles of
carotenoid metabolites and breakdown products as perfume/aroma
compounds are also be outlined. Features: Provides an organized
overview of apocarotenoids and their chemistry and biological
functions Focuses on recent discoveries on apocarotenoids, their
nature and functions. Details potential uses of apocarotenoids in
agriculture, pharmacy, food industry, and apocarotenoid production
at industrial level This book has been written by leading experts
in apocarotenoid research and gives a comprehensive overview on the
diversity of apocarotenoid compounds and would serve as a reference
book for researches in Plant Physiology, Molecular Biology,
Biochemistry, Biophysics and Medicine.
