Genetic Engineering of Plant Secondary Metabolism : Proceedings of the 33rd Annual Meeting of the Phytochemical Society of North America Held in Pacific Grove, California, June 27-July 1, 1993 (Recent Advances in Phytochemistry)

A dozen papers from a June-to-July 1993 meeting in Pacific Grove, California summarize the latest advances by biochemists and molecular biologists in modifying the patterns of secondary metabolisms in plants, and the application of the resulting metabolites in such areas as food, pigments, pharmaceuticals, poisons, and entertainment (flowers, apparently, not drugs).
