Conclusions. 330 $aPlant classifications are based on morphological characters and it is difficult, particularly in small plants and grasses, to identify these below generic level on the basis of these characters using a dissecting microscope. Plant species have intra- and inter-specific variation in secondary metabolites which can be utilized as marker compounds for identification and classification of plants. Secondary metabolites are produced as a result of primary metabolism and the production of these compounds not only involves several genes but also it is an energy dependent process. Hence these products cannot be considered as insignificant for the plant and the environment. Modern tools of molecular biology and secondary metabolites present in them can definitively decide about classification of plants. Absence of correct identification of plant is associated to many problems of resource utilization. Due to wide availability of these tools, interest has revived in systematics and correct classification of plants based on these parameters for their sustainable utilization and resource management. The purpose of this book is to assess the potential of phytochemical and molecular tools in the systematic and classification of plants. The topics covered include species concept, barcoding and phylogenetic analysis, chemotaxonomy use of polyketides, carotenes, cuticular wax, volatile oils, biodiversity of corals, metazoans, Ruta and Echinocereus. It provides comprehensive and broad subject-based reviews, useful for students, teachers, researchers, and all others interested in the field. The field has been kept wide and general to accommodate the wide-ranging topics. This book will be useful to agriculturists, chemists, botanists, industrialists, and those involved in planning of crop plants. 410 0$aSustainable Development and Biodiversity,$x2352-4758 ;$v24 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aConservation biology 606 $aEcology 606 $aPlants$xEvolution 606 $aBioinformatics 606 $aPlant biotechnology 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aConservation Biology 606 $aPlant Evolution 606 $aComputational and Systems Biology 606 $aPlant Biotechnology 606 $aBiodiversitat$2thub 606 $aQuimiotaxonomia$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aBiodiversity. 615 0$aConservation biology. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aPlants$xEvolution. 615 0$aBioinformatics. 615 0$aPlant biotechnology. 615 14$aBiodiversity. 615 24$aConservation Biology. 615 24$aPlant Evolution. 615 24$aComputational and Systems Biology. 615 24$aPlant Biotechnology. 615 7$aBiodiversitat 615 7$aQuimiotaxonomia 676 $a577 702 $aRamawat$b Kishan Gopal$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910373920203321 996 $aBiodiversity and Chemotaxonomy$92115756 997 $aUNINA
