Today, the compounds are found in plants and microorganisms, where they play multifunctional roles and are called biomediators. In our time, we constantly see universal chemical bases of life in the living world—from proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids to small molecules known traditionally as neu- rotransmitters. After the first monographs devoted to the presence and function of the compounds in plants, published in 1991 and 2001, many new works in the field appeared. In this connection, a necessity arose to combine the new information in a collective issue, showing both achievements and perspectives for investigations and human practices. This book will address the work at the margins of current research in plant biology and provide powerful tools for both analyzing and manipulating organisms. Efforts by scientists from many countries have been concentrated on the occurrences of neurotransmitters in plants, their functions in plant cells, and practical application of the knowledge about acetylcholine, catecholamines, serotonin, melatonin, histamine, gamma- aminobutyric acid, and glutamine for ecology, agriculture, medicine, and food industry. This current book may be used by universities and academies, libraries, and research organiza-
