Description of Plant Toxicology 4th Edition
Plant Toxicology 4th Edition written by Bertold Hock and Erich F. Elstner is great for plant toxicology studies get in ebook (PDF) download. The Book Plant toxicology is dealing with poisons causing harmful effects in plants. Not only animals and humans but also plants are affected by a multitude of toxins. Therefore plant toxicology is damages concerned, which are caused by toxic agents, deliberately or either accidentally.
Considering the growing number of environmental compounds interfering with plant metabolism and development, and keeping in mind the role of plants as primary producers of food, it is surprising that the term toxicology has been confined almost exclusively to humans and animals. If recent damages like forest diebacks are taken into account, it is clear that plant toxicology represents an important branch in biological sciences.
Understanding of toxic processes in plants requires detailed knowledge of molecular events when toxic compounds, as well as elicitors during host-pathogen interactions, bind to their molecular targets. However, toxicology involves the entire series of phases that are relevant toxic processes, i.e. exposure to toxic material, uptake, distribution, metabolism and finally secretion. These topics are central to this book.
