Hardcover. Condition: Good+. 1st Edition. Hardcover, xv + 380pp + 8 pages of colour plates. Printed in the USA. Ex-college library, stamped "withdrawn" (an external stamp on upper outer page edges, internal stamps and cancelled labels, a security sticker inside rear board). Book is clean and bright throughout with unmarked text and firm binding. Several folded tips of corners. Boards show gentle handling wear. Issued without a dust jacket. -- The volume focuses on the metabolic pathways of alkaloids - complex nitrogen-containing compounds produced by plants for defence and signalling. Biosynthetic Pathways: It provides updated models for the synthesis of major alkaloid groups, including monoterpene indole alkaloids (MIAs) and benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs). Enzymology and Genetics: The text details the discovery of new enzymes and the "clustering" of genes involved in alkaloid production. Metabolic Engineering: Several chapters explore the "future prospects" mentioned in the title, specifically using synthetic biology to produce high-value medicinal alkaloids in microbial hosts or plant cell cultures. Subcellular Organisation: It examines how plants compartmentalise these toxic compounds to prevent self-poisoning. The book was received as a timely and essential update for phytochemists and biotechnologists. Reviewers appreciated the integration of "omics" technologies (genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics) with classical natural product chemistry. Pathway Mapping: The work is academically significant for documenting the transition from "classical" biochemistry to the use of modern genomic tools to map elusive biosynthetic steps. Pharmaceutical Relevance: It remains relevant for researchers in the pharmaceutical sciences, as alkaloids are the source of many drugs (e.g., anti-cancer agents like vinblastine). Volume 68 continues to be cited in studies regarding plant secondary metabolism and the evolution of chemical diversity in the plant kingdom. -- Contents: 1.
