Phytochemical Potential of Tropical Plants
Throughout the tropics, vast areas of rainforest and other biologically diverse lands are being cleared for agricultural or related uses. Rainforests, the most dramatic example of tropical habitat destrucLion, are estimated to be disappearing at the rate of up to 20.4 million hectares per year world-wide (based on FAO estimates; see World Resources 1990-1991, Oxford University Press) more than 2% of the total area covered by tropical rainforests per year. Destruction of these complex habitats results in the irreversible loss of both plant and animal diversity, and dramatically illustraLes the need to investigate these threatened species for potentially useful constituents-especially the iden...

Nature's Fabric
Leaves are all around us—in backyards, cascading from window boxes, even emerging from small cracks in city sidewalks given the slightest glint of sunlight. Perhaps because they are everywhere, it’s easy to overlook the humble leaf, but a close look at them provides one of the most enjoyable ways to connect with the natural world. A lush, incredibly informative tribute to the leaf, Nature’s Fabric offers an introduction to the science of leaves, weaving biology and chemistry with the history of the deep connection we feel with all things growing and green. Leaves come in a staggering variety of textures and shapes: they can be smooth or rough, their edges smooth, lobed, or with tiny te...
Light Activated Pest Control
Provides an up-to-date historical perspective on light-activated pest control as well as presents an overview of the basic science. Addresses safety concerns in the use of light-activated dyes. Documents the applications of dye-impregnated baits against several species of fruit flies. Discusses applications of allelochemicals in light-catalyzed toxic reactions. Compares hemoglobin and chlorophyll pathways and the effects their intermediates illicit from toxic reactions in plants and animals.

Naturally Occurring Pest Bioregulators
The growing resistance of pests to pesticides has led to a search for better, safer compounds and delivery systems for controlling plant and animal pests. This new volume explores the use of biologically active natural products to control insects, diseases, and weeds. Its 31 chapters are divided into five sections covering bioregulators of insect behavior and development, insects and other animals, phytoalexins and phototoxins in plant pest control, and allelochemicals as plant disease control agents.
