Description / Table of Contents:
Plants produce volatile compounds for communication within the environment. They play essential roles in pollinator and seed-disperser attraction, defense against pathogens, signaling, and stress response. With contributions from distinguished leading scientists in the field, this book provides up-to-date accomplishments in floral scent research.
