The Boswellia species are ecologically, medicinally, commercially and culturally important. Significantly contributing to the paucity of comprehensive literature on this genus, this volume provides a detailed discussion on the genomics, physiology and ecology of Boswellia. The chapters cover a wide range of topics, including taxonomy, distribution, genetic diversity and microbiology. The production process of frankincense and its impact on the species are presented as well. In light of the recent decline of various Boswellia populations, species propagation and conservation are discussed. Plant scholars, ecologists and conservation biologists will find this book to be an important and informative reference. 606 $aPlant anatomy 606 $aPlants$xDevelopment 606 $aPlants$vClassification 606 $aPlants$vClassification 606 $aPlant breeding 606 $aPlant ecology 606 $aPlant genetics 606 $aPlant Anatomy/Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24019 606 $aPlant Systematics/Taxonomy/Biogeography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24051 606 $aPlant Breeding/Biotechnology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24060 606 $aPlant Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19112 606 $aPlant Genetics and Genomics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L32020 615 0$aPlant anatomy. 615 0$aPlants$xDevelopment. 615 0$aPlants 615 0$aPlants 615 0$aPlant breeding. 615 0$aPlant ecology. 615 0$aPlant genetics. 615 14$aPlant Anatomy/Development. 615 24$aPlant Systematics/Taxonomy/Biogeography. 615 24$aPlant Breeding/Biotechnology. 615 24$aPlant Ecology. 615 24$aPlant Genetics and Genomics. 676 $a582.096 676 $a583.73 700 $aAl-Harrasi$b Ahmed$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0995413 702 $aKhan$b Abdul Latif$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aAsaf$b Sajjad$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aAl-Rawahi$b Ahmed$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337939003321 996 $aBiology of Genus Boswellia$92280532 997 $aUNINA
