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.                                                                  . 0aLife sciences. 0aPharmacology. 0aBiotechnology. 0aCell culture. 0aPlant physiology.14aLife Sciences.24aPlant Physiology.24aCell Culture.24aBiotechnology.24aPharmacology/Toxicology.1 a RAO, G.P0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z9783642299735
