The isolation and characterization of plant products, the identification of their role in the plant, and ways of synthesizing identical compounds or more potent analogues are covered. Also includes methods of culturing plant tissues and genetic engineering as a means of increasing the yield of desired substances from plants. Special emphasis is placed on plants previously unknown to Western scientists. 410 0$aCiba Foundation symposium ;$v154. 606 $aPlant bioactive compounds$vCongresses 606 $aPlant biotechnology$vCongresses 615 0$aPlant bioactive compounds 615 0$aPlant biotechnology 676 $a660/.6 701 $aChadwick$b Derek$091632 701 $aMarsh$b Joan$091633 712 02$aSathaban Wichai Chulaphon (Bangkok, Thailand) 712 12$aSymposium on Bioactive Compounds from Plants$f(1990 :$eBangkok, Thailand) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910876501803321 996 $aBioactive compounds from plants$92226304 997 $aUNINA
