Medicinal plants have acquired increasing significance in
development co-operation over the last few years. Their use and
propagation are cross-sectoral concerns that embrace not only
health-care but also nature conservation, biodiversity, economic
assistance, trade and legal aspects (e.g. intellectual property).
The present book presents biotechnological approaches for the in
vitro conservation and mass propagation of two important medicinal
plants viz; Tylophora indica and Rauvolfia tetraphylla. Both the
plants are rapidly disappearing due to its extensive indiscriminate
collection from wild, poor seed germination and lack of adequate
commercial plantation. Regeneration and establishment of plantlets
through various plant tissue culture techniques has been discussed
in this book. The application of these protocols can help to
minimize the pressure on wild populations and contribute to the
conservation of these valuable medicinal plants. Regeneration of
plants from alginate encapsulated shoot buds could be used as nodal
delivery system for germplasm storage and exchange. Physiological
and biochemical changes during ex vitro establishment
micropropagated plants has been discussed.
