Description
Chemical defence by means of toxins poisonous to other
organisms, be they animals or plants, is widespread amongst
the plant kingdom - including microorganisms as well. This
book embraces the analysis of a wide range of plant toxins
and this fills a gap in the plant pathology and ecological
biochemistry fields. The topics covered include toxic
extracellular enzymes, host selective toxins, elicitors,
phototoxins, aflatoxins, mycotoxins, and ecotoxic substance
tests by pollen germination and growth. The analytical
procedures, which are used to evaluate the toxins, are
covered in such a way that the reader is able to carry them
out mostly solely by following the detailed descriptions.
