About The Book

Medicinal plants are nature's hidden and to a large extent unexplored treasure. Although they have been used as a source of safe and effective medicine since time immemorial, this potential resource has hardly been commercially tapped. Plant biotechnology is a set of techniques used to adapt plants for specific needs or opportunities. Situations that combine multiple needs and opportunities are common. The goal of plant breeding is to combine desirable traits from different varieties of plants to produce plants of superior quality. This approach to improving crop production has been very successful over the years. To do this, it takes many years of crossing and backcrossing generations of plants to obtain the desired trait. The present book deals with the Biotechnological research work on the medicinal Plants. This book has been written for researchers those who are doing research for improvement of plants using biotechnological tools.
