Book Description:
Eucalyptus, a genus of over 800 species, is a multiproduct crop par excellence. Not only is it grown for timber, pulp and fuelwood, but it has numerous medicinal and aromatic properties. Since the first commercial distillation of eucalyptus oil 150 years ago, a vast array of eucalyptus-based products has entered the marketplace, mainly for pharmaceutical, fragrance and flavor use. Eucalyptus provides an invaluable reference for all those with an interest in Eucalyptus - in academia and industry alike, for researchers as well as producers, processors, importers and end users - but there are also issues discussed and lessons learned that extend to medicinal and aromatic plants.

Book Description:
The sixth volume in the series Medicinal and Aromatic Plants - Industrial Profiles is written by experts actively working in ergot research. Ergot (Claviceps purpurrea) is best known as a disease of rye and grasses. It is probably the most widely cultivated fungus and it has become an important field crop. Ergot alkaloids, which are extensively used in medicine, are the main reason for its importance. The book begins with the history of ergot research which is comparable to that of the discovery of penicillin. Review articles on Claviceps taxonomy, genetics, biogenesis and pharmacology are based on recent achievements in molecular biology - some of them published here for the first time. The chapters on ergot cultivation, physiology and biotechnology are written by distinguished experts in industry. Sections dealing with the chemistry of ergot alkaloids and biotransformation are comprehensive and serve as good reference material. Unique information on world producers and
