As the demand for herbal medicines is increasing globally, the
supply of medicinal plants is declining because most of this
harvest is derived from wild and naturally growing resources. The
genetic improvement of medicinal plants to produce higher yields
and more active ingredients might help fulfil the increasing demand
for medicinal plants. Medicinal plants are one of the most
important sources of life-saving drugs for the world’s
population. Increasing global demand for herbal medicines is
accompanied by a dwindling supply of medicinal plants due to
over-harvesting. Biotechnological interventions play a significant
role in the improvement of crop yields and quality. Despite such
progress in plant molecular biology, only limited biotechnology
application has been seen in medicinal plants. Recent breakthroughs
in high-throughput approaches have revolutionized this research
area and shifted the focus towards omics approaches, such as
genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. This book
discusses these technologies. Currently, there is no existing
publication that focuses on omics and medicinal plants.
