The intriguing dependence of the Monarch butterfly on its host plants is chosen as an example of plant-animal coevolution in action.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe ability to isolate trace amounts of a substance from plant tissues has led to a wealth of new research, and the fourth edition of this well-known text has consequently been extensively revised. New sections have been provided on the cost of chemical defence and on the release of predator-attracting volatiles from plants. New information has been included on cyanogenesis, the protective role of tannins in plants and the phenomenon of induced defence in plant leaves following herbivory.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAdvanced level students and research workers aloke will find much of value in this comprehensive text, written by an acknowledged expert on this fascinating subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eThe Plant and Its Biochemical Adaptation to the Environment\u003cbr\u003eBiochemistry of Plant Pollination\u003cbr\u003ePlant Toxins and Their Effects on Animals.
