About the Book

Featuring the work of 55 leading authorities on natural toxins, this new volume highlights the diversity of chemical classes among toxins, the range of effects on biological systems, and the variety of expressions of toxicoses. Supplying findings that have yielded significant solutions to practical toxicoses problems, this exceptional reference describes the toxicology and chemistry of toxic and phar­ macologically active compounds from plants and fungi ... discusses the occurrence, incidence, and epidemiology of several types of plant and fungal compound-induced toxicoses in man and animals ... details the structure/activity relation of several plant and fungal toxins and plant teratogens ... covers the toxicologic effects of many plant and fungal compounds on the lung, liver, heart, gastrointestinal tract, muscle, skin, and other organs ... considers the potential usefulness of plant and fungal substances as herbicides, pesticides, and insecticides ... examines plant/herbivore, plant/plant, and plant/fungal interactions as related to plant and fungal toxins ... presents current techniques used in toxicology and teratology studies ... and more! Toxicology of Plant and Fungal Compounds is an indispensable reference for toxicologists; biologists; natural product and organic chemists and biochemists; veterinarians; plant pathologists; land managers; health department personnel; and graduate school students in toxicology, biology, pharmacology, and public health.
