Scientific progress hinges on continual discovery and the extension of previous discoveries. The important series of volumes Discoveries in Plant Biology is specially compiled to provide a microcosmic atlas of the landmark discoveries that span the breadth of plant biology. Written by renowned plant biologists, the papers describe how classic discoveries were made and how they have served as the basis for subsequent breakthroughs.The 24 chapters in this third volume describe discoveries which contribute to the foundations of modern plant biology. The contributors, many of whom personally lit the way, bring readers back in time as if on a journey to retrace the paths and rethink the ideas they followed. These guided tours on how to decipher the natural laws will lead to an appreciation of the development of each field from simple concepts to an advanced multidisciplinary field of today. This volume will be of special interest to botanists, biochemists, plant physiologists and geneticists, and of general interest to those who are still fascinated by how discoveries are made.

Advancement of Phenolic Acids in Drug Discovery: Fundamental and Applications offers comprehensive coverage of the ADMET profiles of phenolic acids, their extraction method and prospects for drug design and development. Chapters overview phenolic acids and their characterization, discuss the role of phenolic acids in plant systems, present sources and detailed extraction methods of phenolic acids, and cover phenolic acid mechanisms of action as it relates to several key diseases and health conditions, including their role as antioxidant agents, anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, anti-microbial drugs, anti-viral drugs, anti-cancer drugs, diabetes and metabolic dysfunctions, neurological disorders, cardiovascular diseases. The book's final chapters cover nanoscience aspects of phenolic acids, biomedical applications, and concludes with challenges and opportunities presented by phenolic acids. This is the ideal reference for researchers in the fields of drug development, both in academia and corporate settings. Researchers of related areas like food science and medicinal chemistry will also benefit from this in-depth profiling of therapeutical properties of phenolic acids. - Highlights fundamental concepts with advanced exploration of phenolic acids - Provides in-depth coverage on the design and development of novel drugs from natural phenolic acids - Reviews the changing role of phenolic acids
