Review Natural Products of Woody Plants: Chemicals Extraneous to the Lignocellulosic Cell Wall (Springer Series in Wood Science) / Springer:

The present book gives an extensive overview of all relevant natural products extractable from woody plants. The chemical properties of these products, their biosynthesis within the cell and the evolution of the respective primary and secondary pathways in woody plants are described. Various carbohydrates, sugars or oligosaccharides, nitrogeneous extractives, such as proteins or alkaloids as well as terpenoids, waxes, lignans, steroids are treated in detail. The role of these exudates and extractives in protecting wood, their effects on the utilization of wood and especially the frequent utilization of extractives by man are discussed.
