The influence of compounds in the environment on the chemistry of
plants is a topic which has economic and scientific implications of
global importance. Selected presentations in this symposium covered
several topics within this immense field, inclusive of air, soil,
and aquatic sources of the compounds. As demonstrated in Chapter 4
by O'Keeffe et al. we have not restricted the discussion solely to
negative aspects of anthropogenic compounds. Nor could we begin to
cover comprehensively all major classes of environmental compounds
in the air, soil or water that may have an effect on the
phytochemistry of plants. Our intent was to focus on some of the
timely and well publicized environmental constituents such as
ozone, sulfur dioxide, acid rain, and others, to provide an
authoritative publication specifically related to environ mental
modifications of plant chemistry. The concept of this symposium
originated with the Executive Committee of the Phytochemical
Society of North America in 1983. It was brought to fruition during
July 13-17, 1986 on the campus of the University of Maryland at the
annual meeting of the PSNA through the efforts of the Symposium
Committee composed of James A. Saunders and Lynn Kosak-Channing.
Financial support for this meeting was provided by the
Phytochemical Society of North America, as well as by generous
contributions from E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Company and the
U. S. Department of Agriculture. The Organizing Committee,
consisting of J. A. Saunders (Chair), J. M. Gillespie, L.
Kosak-Channing, E. H. Lee, J. P."
