Plant-based medicines and aromatics are increasingly in demand throughout the health sector globally, which involves their use not only for the treatment of diseases, but also as potential therapeutics standards for maintaining good health. Unlike modern medicine, herbal medicines derived from plants have several major advantages, including general absence of serious adverse side effects, long-lasting curative impact, and overall cost-effectiveness. Medicinal plants have become threatened due to their minuscule population size, narrow distribution area, habitat specificity, and destructive way of harvesting, only a few studies have been undertaken on their conservation, ecology and pharmacognosy.

Phytohormones and Stress Responsive Secondary Metabolites provides a deep dive into the signaling pathways associated with phytohormones and phytometabolites. With a strong focus on plant stress responses and DNA technology, the book highlights plant biotechnology and metabolic engineering principles. Biotechnology, by using DNA editing technologies, allows the expression of plant genes into other plant species with desirable modulation on plant behavior. Beginning with an overview of phytohormone signaling, growth and abiotic and biotic stresses, subsequent chapters explore DNA modification strategies, epigenetic and epigenomic regulation, and miRNA regulation. This book will be an essential resource for students, researchers and agriculturalists interested in plant physiology, plant genetics and plant biotechnology.
