Chapter 11 Importance of plant secondary metabolites for protection against insects and microbial infections
TL;DR: The physiology, biochemistry, and ecology of secondary metabolism offers an opportunity to breed plants with a better protection against microbes and herbivores, and the search for new active compounds or leads has been correctly termed ‘‘bioprospection,’’ theSearch for biological gold.
