Plant Toxin Analysis

Chemical defence by means of toxins poisonous to other
organisms, be they   animals or plants, is widespread amongst
the plant kingdom - including         microorganisms as well. This
book embraces the analysis of a wide range of   plant toxins
and this fills a gap in the plant pathology and                        ecological
biochemistry fields. The topics covered include                           toxic
extracellular enzymes, host selective toxins,                                    elicitors,
phototoxins, aflatoxins, mycotoxins, and ecotoxic                        substance
tests by pollen germination and growth. The                                 analytical
procedures, which are used to evaluate the toxins,                     are
covered in such a way that the reader is able to carry them
out      mostly solely by following the detailed descriptions.
