The identification of active principles and their molecular targets from traditional medicine provides an enormous opportunity for drug development. Using modern biotechnology, plants with specific chemical compositions can be mass propagated and genetically improved for the extraction of bulk active pharmaceuticals. Although there has been significant progress in the use of biotechnology, using tissue cultures and genetic transformation to investigate and alter pathways for the biosynthesis of target metabolites, there are many challenges involved in bringing plants from the laboratory to successful commercial cultivation. This book presents the latest advances in the development of medicinal drugs, including topics such as plant tissue cultures, secondary metabolite production, metabolomics, metabolic engineering, bioinformatics and future biotechnological directions.                                                                  . 606 $aPlant physiology 606 $aCytology$xTechnique 606 $aBiotechnology 606 $aPharmacology 606 $aPlant Physiology 606 $aCytological Techniques 606 $aBiotechnology 606 $aPharmacology 615 0$aPlant physiology. 615 0$aCytology$xTechnique. 615 0$aBiotechnology. 615 0$aPharmacology. 615 14$aPlant Physiology. 615 24$aCytological Techniques. 615 24$aBiotechnology. 615 24$aPharmacology. 676 $a660.6 701 $aChandra$b Suman$01763219 701 $aLata$b Hemant$01763220 701 $aVarma$b A$g(Ajit),$f1939-$0285747 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437621903321 996 $aBiotechnology for medicinal plants$94203542 997 $aUNINA
