Abstract: "This book provides a comprehensive overview of the flavonoid field since 1990, when the last major volume on flavonoids was published, and covers the emerging areas in the field of flavonoid research and their applications. Chemistry, biochemistry, genetics, cellular and molecular biology are combined in each chapter to tackle what are perceived to be some of the most significant challenges currently being pursued in the area of the biology of flavonoids."--BOOK JACKET.
