About the Editors
Dr Carlos L. Céspedes
Dr Céspedes is Full Professor and Senior Researcher at the Basic Sciences Department,
University of Bío-Bío (Chillán, Chile). He graduated from Pontificia Catholic University
(Chile) as Teacher of Science (Chemistry mention) in 1982, then completed his Master of
Science degree (1988) and PhD (1994) in Chemical Sciences at the University of Concepción
(Chile). Following a postdoctoral position from 1996 to 1998 at the Chemistry Institute of
the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), he remained at the university,
working in natural products chemistry until 2006, investigating natural products, chemical
interactions among plants and other organisms, and their applications. He has been invited
for postdoctoral research stays in several universities including: the University of Urbana-
Champaign, Illinois, by Prof. David Seigler; the University of California at Berkeley, by
Prof. Isao Kubo; the University of Milan in Italy, by Prof. Daniele Passarella; the University
of Cadiz in Spain, by Prof. Francisco A. Macias; and at the Chemistry Institute, University
of Antioquia in Colombia, by Prof. Fernando Echeverri. Since 1990 he has been investigat-
ing secondary metabolites involved in plant–plant and plant–insect interactions from Latin
American plants belonging to the Agavaceae, Asteraceae, Cactaceae, Celastraceae,
Elaeocarpaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Leguminosae, Meliaceae and Zygophyllaceae families. He
has co-published two books and participated as author/co-author on more than 82 scien-
tific publications, including ten book chapters and more than 120 communications in
international meetings.
Dr Diego A. sampietro
Dr Sampietro is Assistant Professor of Phytochemistry and Plant Biotechnology at the
National University of Tucumán (Tucumán, Argentina). Having majored in Agronomy
(1998) and completing a PhD on Allelopathy (2005) at the above university, he then com-
pleted postdoctoral work at the Complutense University of Madrid, Spain, (2008) and at the
Northern Regional Laboratory of the United States Department of Agriculture in Peoria,
Illinois (2010). He is currently Adjunct Researcher of the National Research Council of
Argentina (CONICET) and Regional Editor of the Allelopathy Journal. His research focus
has been the isolation, identification and characterization of secondary metabolites
involved in the defence of wild and crop plants against noxious organisms, and molecular
and ecophysiological characterization of toxigenic Fusarium species responsible for ear rot

diseases. He has participated as editor/co-author on several books, and has authored/
co-authored over 30 research papers in international journals and several book chapters.
Dr David seigler
Dr Seigler graduated from Southwestern Oklahoma State University (1961) where he
majored in Chemistry. He earned his doctorate in Organic Chemistry in 1967 from the
University of Oklahoma. He then completed postdoctoral work at the Northern Regional
Laboratory of the United States Department of Agriculture in Peoria, Illinois, and at the
University of Texas in Austin. Dr Seigler is currently an emeritus professor in the
Department of Plant Biology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where
he has been since 1970. During that time, he has authored/co-authored over 160 publica-
tions and has participated in several book projects. Seigler’s research focus has been on
the role of plant compounds in biological problems, such as plant–insect, plant–fungal
and plant–herbivore interactions. Much of his work has involved cyanide and tannins
from plants, and research on Acacia and Passiflora species. He has conducted research
in several Latin American countries and received the Fulbright-Hays Lecturing Research
Grant to teach at the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina. He has served as President
of the Phytochemical Society of North America and the International Society of Chemical
Ecology. In addition to his departmental work at the University of Illinois, Seigler serves
as the Curator of the University of Illinois Herbarium (ILL), research associate with the
Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis, and Affiliate Professional Scientist with the
Illinois Center for Economic Entomology.
Dr Mahendra rai
Dr Rai is Professor and Head of the Department of Biotechnology at SGB Amravati University
in Amravati, India. He has published more than 200 research papers and 105 popular arti-
cles in Indian and foreign journals. He has also published/edited 25 scientific books. Dr Rai
is a member of several scientific societies, has been a national scholar for five years and has
received several prestigious awards, including the Father T.A. Mathias award (1989) from
the All India Association for Christian Higher Education and the Medini award (1999) from
the Ministry of Environment and Forest, Government of India. He also received a SERC
Visiting Fellowship by the Department of Science and Technology (1996); the INSA visit-
ing fellowship by Indian National Science Academy (1998); TWAS-UNESCO Associateship
(2002), Italy; and fellowships from the Hungarian Scholarship Board, Hungary (2005 and
2008). He has been a visiting scientist at: Dipartimento Di Colture Arboree, University of
Turin, Italy (1999); Laboratory of Bioenergetics, University of Geneva, Switzerland (2004);
Department of Crop Protection, Debrecen University, Hungary (2005-06, 2008); Department
of Chemical Biology, University of Campinas under Indo-Brazil programme (2009, 2010,
2011); and Nicolaus Copernicus University, Torun´, Poland (2012). He has 30 years of teach-
ing and research experience.
