Fungal Secondary Metabolites: Synthesis and Applications in Agroecosystem

Fungal Secondary Metabolites: Synthesis and Applications in Agroecosystem presents the properties and biotechnological applications of microbial metabolites and their upcoming industrial, pharmaceutical, antimicrobial, and anticancer applications. Chapters cover topics such as the role of fungal metabolites in the management of abiotic stress, microbial alkaloids and their application in pharmaceutical and agriculture applications, and fungal metabolites as novel plant pathogen antagonists, among others. Plant and agri-food environmental scientists and researchers, graduate and post-graduate students in related fields will find value in this reference which is published as part of the series on Nanobiotechnology for Plant Protection. Explores possibilities for producing biobased business solutions to deal with global agriculture and human problems Addresses the link between microbial secondary metabolites and health Covers cryptic genes and their link to the production of bioactive compounds INDICE: 1.
