Tissue Culture Techniques and Medicinal Plants
Author: Azamal Husen
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1040227406
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 472
Book Description
Nature is the most potent source of cure and care. With the advent of the ‘herbal renaissance,’ the dependence on medicinal plants has increased in all spheres ranging from their use as raw material for medicinal, nutraceutical, cosmetic preparations, and food. The tissue culture technique has proven to be extremely advantageous not only for large-scale propagation of medicinal plants in a limited space and time, but also for conservation, storage for prolonged use, genetic improvement, and metabolite production. This book describes in detail the different methods of plant tissue culture that have been employed for the mass production of medicinal plants. The chapters on methods of organogenesis, embryogenesis, haploid plant production, virus-free medicinal plant production, and so forth will be of interest to a wide range of readers. Dedicated chapters on the tissue culture of high-altitude medicinal plants, cannabis and so on are some of the book's highlights. The book also discusses the implementation of advanced biotechnological interventions such as the production of phytochemicals, cryopreservation, nanotechnology, and bioinformatics in medicinal plant studies. With contributions from world-leading specialists in plant tissue culture, the knowledge presented in this book will aid in the translation of plant tissue culture techniques for the production and improvement of medicinal plants. The information presented has the potential to be utilized for commercial production and formulations. Key features: Comprehensive guide for tissue culture systems as potential methods for the production of clones, new varieties, improved germplasms, haploids, and in vitro preservation of medicinal plants Elaborates on standardization of in vitro systems for propagation and transplantation of important medicinal plants and enhanced secondary metabolite production Enriches the understanding of advanced technologies like cryopreservation, bioinformatics, and nanotechnology in medicinal plants tissue culture

Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 575
Book Description
This book covers the morphological characteristics, ethnopharmacological properties, isolated and identified structurally diverse secondary metabolites, biological and pharmacological activities of medicinal plants. Ethnopharmacology is the systematic study of folklore/traditional medicines, which continue to provide innovative drugs and lead molecules for the pharmaceutical industry. In fact, plant secondary metabolites, used as a single molecule or as a mixture, are medicines that can be effective and safe even when synthetic drugs fail. Therefore, the description of these secondary metabolites as well as methods for the targeted expression and/or purification is of high interest. In addition to surveying the morphological features, ethnopharmacological properties, biological and pharmacological activities, and studies of clinical trials, this book offers a comprehensive treatment of 56 plant species. It also presents the cell culture conditions and various methods used for increasing the production of medicinally important secondary metabolites in plant cell cultures. This volume: · Provides the morphological features, habitat, and distribution of each species of 56 genera selected from the different regions of the world. · Presents ethnopharmacological applications of various species of the 56 genera included in this book. Different species of 56 genera are used for ethnomedicinal uses by the people of various countries of the world. · Describes structures of various secondary metabolites identified in 56 plant species together with their biological and pharmacological activities. · Discusses strategies of secondary metabolites production, such as organ culture, pH, elicitation, hairy root cultures, light, and mutagenesis. · Provides a complete overview of each species of 56 genera and complete information up to 2022. Ethnopharmacological Properties, Biological Activity and Phytochemical Attributes of Medicinal Plants is an important book for undergraduate and postgraduate students, pharmacologists, phytochemists, Ayurvedic practitioners, medical doctors, and biotechnologists interested in the ethnopharmacological properties, phytochemistry, and biological and pharmacological activities of plants.

ISBN: 0081001037
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 694
Book Description
Medicinal Plants: Chemistry, Biology and Omics reviews the phytochemistry, chemotaxonomy, molecular biology, and phylogeny of selected medicinal plant tribes and genera, and their relevance to drug efficacy. Medicinal plants provide a myriad of pharmaceutically active components, which have been commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine and worldwide for thousands of years. Increasing interest in plant-based medicinal resources has led to additional discoveries of many novel compounds, in various angiosperm and gymnosperm species, and investigations on their chemotaxonomy, molecular phylogeny and pharmacology. Chapters in this book explore the interrelationship within traditional Chinese medicinal plant groups and between Chinese species and species outside of China. Chapters also discuss the incongruence between chemotaxonomy and molecular phylogeny, concluding with chapters on systems biology and "-omics technologies (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics), and how they will play an increasingly important role in future pharmaceutical research. - Reviews best practice and essential developments in medicinal plant chemistry and biology - Discusses the principles and applications of various techniques used to discover medicinal compounds - Explores the analysis and classification of novel plant-based medicinal compounds - Includes case studies on pharmaphylogeny - Compares and integrates traditional knowledge and current perception of worldwide medicinal plants

Multi-omics and Computational Biology in Horticultural Plants: From Genotype to Phenotype, Volume II
Author: Yunpeng Cao
Publisher: Frontiers Media SA
ISBN: 2832544703
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
This Research Topic is part of the article collection series - Multi-omics and Computational Biology in Horticultural Plants: From Genotype to Phenotype. Horticultural plants play an important role for humans by providing herbal medicines, beverages, vegetables, fruits, and ornamentals. High-throughput technologies have revolutionised the time scale and power of detecting insights into physiological changes and biological mechanisms in plants. All sequencing data and tools have helped us better understand the evolutionary histories of horticultural plants and provide genotype and phenotype resources for molecular studies on economically important traits. The integration of these -omics technologies (e.g., genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics, ionomics, and redoxomics) is currently at the forefront of plant research. The genomes of horticultural plants are highly diverse and complex, often with a high degree of heterozygosity and polyploidy. Novel computational methods need to be developed to take advantage of state-of-the-art genomic technologies. As a result, the mining of multi-omics data and the development of new computational biology approaches for the reliable and efficient analysis of plant traits is necessary.
