Chemical Ecology of Alkaloids

  • Chapter

Abstract

In previous chapters the authors considered the distribution of alkaloids within the plant kingdom and how the plants synthesize, transport, and store them. In this chapter I shall concentrate on the question of the role and function of alkaloids, to what purpose they are produced.
