Highlights
When Chemistry Meets Biology — Generating Innovative Concepts, Methods and Tools for Scientific Discovery in the Plant Sciences
Upon recognition of the opportunities that bioactive small molecules may provide to basic plant biology research, in particular in combination with genetic strategies, the research field of plant “chemical genetics” emerged and has grown substantially over the past decade
There are clear examples of important, fundamental discoveries originating from plant chemical biology/genetics that demonstrate the power of this experimental approach
Summary
When Chemistry Meets Biology — Generating Innovative Concepts, Methods and Tools for Scientific Discovery in the Plant Sciences. Chemical biology has so far found most applications in pharmaceutical drug discovery, the search for novel bioactive small molecules that produce phenotypes in plants is an established strategy in the agrichemical industry. Upon recognition of the opportunities that bioactive small molecules may provide to basic plant biology research, in particular in combination with genetic strategies, the research field of plant “chemical genetics” emerged and has grown substantially over the past decade.
