A computer-assisted approach for chemotaxonomic studies--diterpenes in Lamiaceae.
This paper describes a new computer approach for chemotaxonomic studies. The methodology employed enables the search for chemical substructures as taxonomic descriptors using an expert system built with plant natural products. The operation of the system was tested with diterpenes as taxonomic markers in Lamiaceae.
