The book manuscript covers the morphological characteristics,
ethnopharmacological properties, isolated and identified
structurally diverse secondary metabolites, biological and
pharmacological activities of medicinal plants. Ethnopharmacology
is the systematic study of folklore/traditional medicines, which
continue to provide innovative drugs and lead molecules for the
pharmaceutical industry. In fact, plant secondary metabolites, used
as a single molecule or as a mixture, are medicines that can be
effective and safe even when synthetic drugs fail. Therefore, the
description of these secondary metabolites as well as methods for
the targeted expression and/or purification is of high interest.
Moreover, the morphological features, ethnopharmacological
properties, biological and pharmacological activities, and studies
of clinical trials, this book offers a comprehensive treatment of
56 plant species. It also presents the cell culture conditions and
various methods used for increasing the production of medicinally
important secondary metabolites in plant cell cultures. · Provides
the morphological features, habitat, and distribution of each
species of 56 genera selected from the different regions of the
world. · Presents ethnopharmacological applications of various
species of included 56 genera of this book. Different species of 56
genera are used for ethnomedicinal uses by the people of various
countries of the world. · Describes structures of various
secondary metabolites identified 56 plant species together with
their biological and pharmacological activities. · Discusses
strategies of secondary metabolites production, such as organ
culture, pH, elicitation, hairy root cultures, light, and
mutagenesis. · Provides complete overview of each species of 56
genera and the complete information up to year 2022 has been
included in this book. Ethnopharmacological Properties, Biological
Activity and Phytochemical Attributes of Medicinal Plants is an
important book for undergraduate and postgraduate students,
pharmacologists, phytochemists, Ayurvedic practitioners, medical
doctors and biotechnologists interested in the ethnopharmacological
properties, phytochemistry, biological and pharmacological
activities of plants.

This book highlights the relationship between disasters and
development through a socio-cultural study of human geography and
governance institutions. It studies the cause, context and
consequences of disasters in one of the most fragile Himalayan
regions in India. The book establishes the fact that disaster
management is built within the framework of good governance,
without which it has no meaning. For lack of effective and
responsive governance, development has lagged behind and even
though the frequency of disasters has been increasing, little is
being done to redesign developmental frameworks to prevent ensuing
losses. Besides, the near absence of governmental support during
recurrent disasters, communities have cumulatively become
reservoirs of innovations to cope up with disasters. The resilience
plans need not follow implanted models but may be cost effective
only if they apply a bottom up approach. Just as the region is
culturally diverse so are the challenges encountered by local
communities in terms of generating resilience to every disaster.
Despite more than a decade of the Disaster Management Act (DMA) of
2005, most of the states in this northeastern fringe of India
continue to wait for its implementation beyond mere structures and
offices. The book suggests that urgent action is required in
accordance with the DMA 2005 towards inter-agency coordination,
proactive participation of local governance, mobilization of
Community based Organizations (CBOs) and curriculum based training
in every academic and technical institution. Governments of these
northeastern states of India should establish accountability of
State Disaster Management Authorities and inspire them to
participate proactively with communities for an effective
resilience building in the region.

The demand for plant-based industrial raw materials has increased
as well as research into expanding the utility of plants for
current and future uses. Plants are renewable, have limited or
positive environmental impact and have the potential to yield a
wide range of products in contrast to petroleum-based materials.
Plants can be used in a variety of different industries and
products including bioenergy, industrial oil and starch, fibre and
dye, rubber and related compounds, insecticide and land
rehabilitation. This title offers a comprehensive coverage of each
of these uses. Chapters discuss the identification of plant species
with desired traits, their cultivation to obtain the needed raw
materials, methods utilized in producing different finished
products, current and future research in crop production and
processing and the present state and future prospects for the
industry. Providing the first systematic review of industrial crops
and their uses, this book will be an important resource for
students and researchers of crop science and agricultural policy
makers.
Providing comprehensive coverage on biofuel crop production and the
technological, environmental and resource issues associated with a
sustainable biofuel industry, this book is ideal for researchers
and industry personnel. Beginning with an introduction to biofuels
and the challenges they face, the book then includes detailed
coverage on crops of current importance or with high future
prospects, including sections on algae, sugar crops and grass, oil
and forestry species. The chapters focus on the genetics, breeding,
cultivation, harvesting and handling of each crop.
