Despite their perceived inaccessibility, the marine intertidal and benthic environments of Antarctica, southern Africa and South America have continued to provide marine natural products for chemists with unique opportunities to study the... more
The cacti family is a morphologically heterogeneous group comprising 100 genera and about 1500 species (Hernandez and Barcenas, 1996). With the exception of one genus, all members of this family are native to America (Hernandez and... more
Guggul - an oleo-resin gum of immense medicinal value is tapped from a bushy shrub Commiphora wightii (Arnott) Bhandari distributed in semi-arid and rocky regions in Indian sub continent. C. wightii is an IUCN data deficient plant.... more
SUMMARY Presence of secondary metabolites (tannins, alkaloids, saponins and steroids) in the foliage of ten woody species of the Argentinean Arid Chaco Region was determined. Selected species were: Aspidosperma Quebracho-blanco; Prosopis... more
Trichoderma spp. are filamentous fungi which frequently colonise soil and plant roots. As an alternative to chemical pesticides, some Trichoderma species such as T. harzianum, T. atroviride and T. virens are being used as biocontrol... more
Enzymes of the chalcone synthase (CHS) superfamily catalyze the production of a variety of secondary metabolites in bacteria, fungi and plants. Some of these metabolites have played important roles during the early evolution of land... more
Micropropagation of Origanum vulgare L. by shoot buds, as a potential model system for studying carbon skeleton diversion from growth to secondary metabolism as adaptive response to nutrient deficiency, has been performed. In addition,... more

The rhizosphere is the volume of soil under the influence of plants roots, where very important and intensive microbe–plant interactions take place. These interactions can both significantly influence plant growth and crop yields and have... more
Recent achievements have been made in the metabolic engineering of plant secondary metabolism. Various pathways have been altered using genes encoding biosynthetic enzymes or genes encoding regulatory proteins. In addition, antisense... more
