Until recently, saffron was perceived only for its value as a spice. However, with recent research findings pointing to the medicinal properties of saffron such as its antimicrobial, anticarcinogenic and antioxidant effects, interest in this plant has increased. The book presents a comprehensive account of saffron which includes the historical background, acerage underproduction, yield and applications, botanical ecophysiology, production technology, irrigation, pests, diseases and weeds, genetics, sterility, reproduction and production of secondary metabolites by in vitro method, economic aspects, indigenous knowledge in saffron production, processing, chemical composition and quality control, and research strategies."--Provided by publisher. 606 $aSaffron crocus 606 $aSaffron crocus$zIran 615 0$aSaffron crocus. 615 0$aSaffron crocus 676 $a633.8/2 701 $aKafi$b M$01754190 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812311203321 996 $aSaffron (Crocus sativus) production and processing$94190416 997 $aUNINA
