Plant Neurobiology, a Fascinating Perspective in the Field of Research on Plant Secondary Metabolites
نویسنده
چکیده
In this Editorial, I comment on the exciting and original topic of plant neurobiology, focusing on natural products whose biosynthesis is shared by animal and plant organisms, i.e., indoleamines (melatonin and serotonin) and catecholamines (dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine).
