Plant-based drugs play an important role in all cultures and have been crucial in maintaining health and fighting diseases, and by using contemporary methods of biotechnology, plants with explicit chemical compositions are propagated and genetically upgraded for the mining of pharmaceuticals. Phytopharmaceuticals and Biotechnology of Herbal Plants presents the latest advances in the development of transgenic plants, covering phototherapeutics, secondary metabolite production, metabolomics, metabolic engineering, bioinformatics, quality control of herbal plant products, crop improvement using various breeding techniques, tissue culture techniques, and the future of phytopharmaceuticals.
Features
Describes developments and applications of phytopharmaceuticals of herbal plants.
Highlights the importance of phytopharmaceutical of plants and potential applications in the food and pharma industries.
Provides an overview of research on key anticancer drugs to elucidate the biotechnological approaches for their production in cell cultures.
Places special emphasis on the biosynthetic pathway mapping and metabolic engineering.
Phytopharmaceuticals and Biotechnology of Herbal Plants will be an invaluable resource to academics and researchers associated with plant science, herbal drug manufacturers, and phytochemists.
