Latex, Laticifers And Their Products, Volume 92 in the Advances in Botanical Research series, highlights new advances in the growing field of the latex of different plant species and a diversity of molecules produced by the plants within laticifers. The new volume presents timely chapters on the latest developments in latex-borne defense against herbivores and pathogens (like viruses, bacteria, fungi), physiology and structure of laticifers, low-molecular compounds and proteins produced by latex-bearing plants as well as the new look on the bioactivity and pharmacological properties of different latex compounds. Special focus is also placed on the latex and products of some important plant species or families like Hevea brasiliensis, Euphorbiaceae or Papaveraceae. The volume is written with the expertise of leading contributors in the field.
