Reseña del editor:

This volume contains the presentations of the twenty-three invited speakers at the meeting entitled 'The Biochemistry of Plant Phenolics' held at Rijksuniversiteit-Gent, Belgium in August 1984. The profusion and irregular distribution of phenolic compounds in plants has exercised the minds of phytochemists for many years. Chemists have pondered their structure, physiologists their function, and taxonomists their distribution. Newer separatory and analytical techniques have greatly aided these studies, and include HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry as well as the venerable colour reactions. They have produced a wealth of new information which is considered among others with relation to lignins, neoflavanoids, flavanoid oligomers, tannins and quinones. New techniques have also aided the biochemist, so the biosynthesis and intracellular location of the phenols are also discussed. Indeed, the factors controlling the synthesis of flavonoids in parsley is as well or better understood at the level of molecular biology than any other plant process.
