Over the last few decades, an enormous amount of research data has been generated on these two neurotransmitters\/plant signalers. This book covers topics regarding the occurrence of serotonin and melatonin in medicinal plants and food value plants with their implications for human health, the role of serotonin and melatonin in plant growth development, functions of melatonin and serotonin in the environmental adaptation of plants, and the implications of these molecules in human disorders and treatments. This volume should appeal to scientists and other professionals engaged in basic and applied research on the relevance of serotonin and melatonin to plants, animals, and humans. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRevi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Despite the book’s size, the editors and publisher have kept the text accessible by adhering to a common format throughout. Each review chapter was written to stand alone and all 36 chapters include lists of contents and abbreviations, abstract, keywords, and reference section in addition to the main text. The book is organized logically, beginning with basic information about discoveries and derivations of serotonin and melatonin, continuing with contemporary approaches for detecting these two indoleamines, and ending with prevailing hypotheses and future directions for basic and applied research into linkages between plants and human health. The editors appear to have accomplished their stated aim, namely, to consolidate existing understanding of serotonin and melatonin biosynthesis.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-- Wendy L.

All these aspects have been fully described in this book. […] The 36 chapters were written by many experts and researchers in this field. This is an excellent textbook, is very useful, and could attract a huge number of scientists. It is very organized and well written. I would like to recommend this textbook for different audiences including scientists, researchers, academicians, and professionals who are involved in plant and\/or animal sciences.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-- Samir A.
