Plant-based medicines play an important role in all cultures, and
have been indispensable in maintaining health and combating
diseases. The identification of active principles and their
molecular targets from traditional medicine provides an enormous
opportunity for drug development. Using modern biotechnology,
plants with specific chemical compositions can be mass propagated
and genetically improved for the extraction of bulk active
pharmaceuticals. Although there has been significant progress in
the use of biotechnology, using tissue cultures and genetic
transformation to investigate and alter pathways for the
biosynthesis of target metabolites, there are many challenges
involved in bringing plants from the laboratory to successful
commercial cultivation. This book presents the latest advances in
the development of medicinal drugs, including topics such as plant
tissue cultures, secondary metabolite production, metabolomics,
metabolic engineering, bioinformatics and future biotechnological
directions.
