Essential oil composition and antimicrobial activity of three Zingiberaceae from S.Tomé e Príncipe.

abstract：:Increasingly, as a result of recent biochemical work, there exists a realistic possibility of taking a molecular genetic approach to the manipulation of alkaloid-producing pathways in plant tissue cultures. In the pathways forming indole alkaloids in CATHARANTHUS ROSEUS, tropane alkaloids in DATURA and HYOSCYAMUS spec...
