HPLC, the newest volume within the series Modern Methods of Plant Analysis, describes the most sophisticated application of this efficient method in the detection and tracing of plant compounds. The specific problems in the extraction, separation, and determination of plant cells, e.g., lipids, gibberellins, phytoalexins, thiophenes, cellulose, and pectins can now b analyzed by HPLC. this book explains how these compounds can best be detected, and what the advantages of this powerful procedure are. Furthermore, the limitations and the application in special problems of investigating plant metabolism are sutdied. Researchers, technicians, and graduate students working with plant cells will find this manual a useful reference for the application of HPLC to their specialized research poblems.
