This edited book deals with plant genetic resources and their
status, availability, and ecological niche in natural habitat.
Usage and conservation practices followed by various tribal
communities and their rationale are also discussed in the book. The
book explores application of biological tools to conserve plant
species and optimization protocols for conservation and elicitation
of secondary metabolites and other value addition products. The
book is organized into sub-themes covering:Â (i) Ecological
status of plant genetic resources (ii) Traditional
ethnobotanical knowledge and conservation practices (iii)
Ex-situ conservation practices and bioprospecting Globally, plant
genetic resources are deeply rooted in culture and economy. Since
the early 1990s, the changing socio-economic situation has
increasingly put pressure on plant genetic resources, in some cases
leading to a severe loss of their diversity. For this reason, most
vulnerable areas at risk of genetic erosion have been demarcated
and protected by forest laws and regulations. Therefore, this book
brings to light the opinions of leading experts in the area of
ecology, conservation biodiversity, ethanobotany, and
bioprospecting of plant genetic resources.  The book
is for use by graduate and advanced undergraduate students and
researchers in plant physiology, molecular biology, biochemistry,
and agriculture. Additionally, it is extremely useful as a general
reference on conservation of flora and large-scale cultivation.
