Presents both the historical use of alkaloids and the latest discoveries in the biochemistry of alkaloid production in plants. The text also covers alkaloid ecology, including marine invertebrates, animal and plant parasites, and alkaloids in antimicrobial and current medicinal use. Highlights include chapters on the chemical ecology of alkaloids in host-predator interactions, and on the compartmentation of alkaloid synthesis, transport, and storage.
