This is the first volume to be published under a new series agreement for Recent Advances in Phytochemistry, co-published with the Phytochemical Society of North America.

Preface to Recent Advances in Phytochemistry 2010 1. The pursuit of potent anti-influenza activity from the Antarctic red marine alga Gigartina skottsbergii 2. Ginsenosides: Phytoanticipins or Host Recognition Factors? 3. Fractionation of grape seed proanthocyanidins for bioactivity assessment 4. Coloring Soybeans with Anthocyanins? 5. Pharmacogenetics in Potential Herb-Drug Interactions: Effects of Ginseng on CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 Allelic Variants 6. Biosynthesis and Function of Citrus Glycosylated Flavonoids 7. Ginsenoside Variation Within and Between Ontario Ginseng Landraces: Relating Phytochemistry to Biological Activity 8. Heat, Color and Flavor Compounds in Capsicum Fruit 9. Fungal attack and cruciferous defenses: tricking plant pathogens 10. Glucosinolate degradation products in fermented meadowfoam seed meal and their herbicidal activities 11. Elucidating the metabolism of plant terpene volatiles: Alternative tools for engineering plant defenses? 12. Stereoselectivity of the biosynthesis of norlignans and related compounds

This 41st volume of RAP includes a total of twelve articles, all based on talks presented at the 49th annual meeting of the PSNA.

These eight Perspectives and four Communications give a very good picture of the state of plant (bio)chemistry research in North America, which is also indicative of the state of the field worldwide.

Serves as an authoritative, up-to-date resource that helps to set the gold standard for thought and research in fields related to plant biochemistry.
