Series: Nanobiotechnology for Plant Protection

Fungal Secondary Metabolites: Synthesis and Applications in Agroecosystem presents the properties and biotechnological applications of fungal metabolites and their industrial, pharmaceutical, antimicrobial, and anticancer applications. Chapters cover topics including the role of fungal metabolites in the management of biotic or abiotic stress, microbial alkaloids and their pharmaceutical and agricultural applications, and fungal metabolites as novel plant pathogen antagonists. In order to develop novel bioactive compounds, researchers must understand the agricultural applications of fungal metabolites. This book provides expert insights from around the globe highlighting the latest understanding and future prospects for their use. Plant and agri-food environmental scientists, researchers, graduate, and post-graduate students in related fields will find value in this reference book which is published as part of the Nanobiotechnology for Plant Protection series.
