This book, the second of two volumes on the Gentianaceae, is
devoted to aspects of biotechnology and their applications. It
consists of 18 chapters and covers micropropagation by means of
organogenesis or somatic embryogenesis, and single cell
manipulation of various species belonging to the horticultural
genera Blakstonia, Centaurium, Gentiana, Gentianalla and Swertia.
Furthermore, the application of somatic cell hybridization,
haploidization and genetic variation arising from tissue and organ
culture for the production of plants with new horticultural traits,
such as new flower colors or sizes, or with special pharmaceutical
values, is treated in detail. Also discussed are molecular markers
that facilitate breeding and cultivar identification, the
preservation of genetic resources by cryopreservation, the
postharvest physiology of cut Gentian flowers and potted plants,
and different analytical methods for the evaluation of Gentians as
sources of secondary metabolites, such as xanthones and flavonoids,
secoiridoids and C-glucoflavonoids, and their positive impacts on
human health. This volume as well as the companion book The
Gentianaceae - Volume 1: Characterization and Ecology will serve as
key reference works for scientists and students in the fields of
botany, plant breeding, biotechnology and horticulture, as well as
professional gardeners.
