Different disciplines are brought together in a  discussion of the messenger functions of terpenoids within and between  organisms belonging to five biological kingdoms: bacteria, fungi,  plants, insects, and vertebrates (including humans). \u003cbr\u003e  The present volume covers evolutionary aspects of terpenoids in plant  physiology, plant-insect relationships, semiochemicals, and in  life sciences, with special emphasis on cancer research and treatment.  The book provides proposals for multidisciplinary model systems for  the study of interrelationships of organisms utilizing terpenoid  messengers, and discusses novel strategies for insect control and  multifactor treatments of cancer utilizing terpenoids. \u003cbr\u003e  This book is of interest to scientists, and students at an advanced  level: biologists, plant breeders, pharmacologists, specialists in  medical fields, especially oncologists, physicians in general, and  anyone with a basic biochemical and physiological knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-05-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792368915\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-010-0767-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 440\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266411057292,"sku":"9780792368915","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792368915.jpg?v=1770818756","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792368915","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
