Dr. Reinhard Jetter currently serves as a professor in the Department of Botany and Chemistry for the University of British Columbia. His research interests include plant biochemistry, molecular biology, and the chemical composition, physiological function and ecological roles of plant surface lipids.

Provides both reviews and primary research articles for a broad audience of biologists, chemists, biochemists, pharmacologists, clinicians and nutrition experts

Comprised of materials solicited from prominent members of the Phytochemical Society of North America, based on the content of presentations at the annual meeting

Analyzes the integration of several different approaches to ask and then answer key questions regarding the function of interesting plant metabolites, either in the plant itself or in chemical ecology or human health application
