This volume is based on the proceedings of the Phytochemical Society of North America''s 23rd Annual Meet ing on "Phytochemical Adaptations to Stress" which was held at the University of Arizona, Tucson, July 5-8, 1983. It contains a series of articles which focus on our current knowledge on the production of secondary (natural) metabolites by higher plants in response to biological and physiological stresses. The editors of this volume are deeply indebted to a number of people and organizations for their support and contributions which were critical to the success of this scientific meeting. Generous grant support was provided by the Agricultural Research Service of the United States Department of Agricul ture. Additional financial support came from the Phytochemical Society of North America. Indispensable services and personnel were donated by the Departments of Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, the College of Agriculture and the Office of Arid Lands Studies of the University of Arizona. Special recognition is due to Paul Mirocha of the Office of Arid Lands Studies for his drawing of the frontispiece and the superb photograph on the jacket. The Division of Conferences and Short Courses of the University of Arizona deserves credit for its pivotal role in maintaining a well-run and pleasant conference. Many other volunteers gave their time and energy to make the Symposium a success; we wish to mention two from the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Brian Week and Catherine L. Buckner.

The biological significance of carbohydrates in glycosyl- ated biopolymers emerged from studies on viruses, microbial cells and animal tissues. Plant-related processes, a rela- tive newcomer to this area of research, now offer chal- lenging questions as regards the roles of glycosyl-con- jugates and carbohydrate-binding proteins in such broadly based topics as pollination, fertilization, symbiosis (including nitrogen fixation), the chemical basis of morphogenesis, and the broad area of plant protection. While the impressive accomplishments on model systems, membrane-bound processes, receptor site biochemistry, and cell surface interactions fill numerous reports, reviews, and books, most of these involve biological systems other than plants. A real need exists for the present volume in which cell recognition and cell surface interactions as related to plants are examined.Contributions to this volume may be sorted into three catagories: first an overview of the structures and pro- perties of glycoconjugates, then a closer look at specific systems in terms of biological function, and finally, selected examples of cell recognition and cell surface interactions as encountered in biology. To introduce the general subject, Alan Elbein reviews the structure and bio- synthesis of certain glycoconjugates and examines the bio- chemical basis of adherence between bacteria and eucaryotic cells. Irwin Goldstein examines the properties of plant- derived lectins, in particular a group of lectins from Bandeiraea simplicifolia. The roles of several biologi- cally-active complex carbohydrates in plant-related host- pest relationships are examined by Peter Albersheim and his colleagues.
