Saffron is a precious spice which is mainly grown in Iran, India,
Spain, Greece, Italy, Pakistan, Morocco, and central Asian
countries. 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.
