Polyamines in Plant Biotechnology, Food Nutrition, and Human Health

Polyamines are small polycations derived from arginine and/or ornithine. These compounds are present in all living organisms and play common and organism-specific functions. Polyamines are present in most food products of plant and animal origin, thus having an impact on human nutrition and health....

Description
Summary:Polyamines are small polycations derived from arginine and/or ornithine. These compounds are present in all living organisms and play common and organism-specific functions. Polyamines are present in most food products of plant and animal origin, thus having an impact on human nutrition and health. In this Topic, we aimed to cover both basic and applied research on polyamines in the areas of plant biotechnology, food nutrition, and human health.
