For the majority of the world’s population, medicinal and aromatic plants are the most important source of life-saving drugs. Biotechnological tools represent important resources for selecting, multiplying and conserving the critical genotypes of medicinal plants. In this regard, in-vitro regeneration holds tremendous potential for the production of high-quality plant-based medicines, while cryopreservation – a long-term conservation method using liquid nitrogen – provides an opportunity to conserve endangered medicinal and aromatic plants. In-vitro production of secondary metabolites in plant cell suspension cultures has been reported for various medicinal plants, and bioreactors represent a key step toward the commercial production of secondary metabolites by means of plant biotechnology. Addressing these key aspects, the book contains 29 chapters, divided into three sections. Section 1: In-vitro production of secondary metabolites Section 2: In-vitro propagation, genetic transformation and germplasm conservation Section 3: Conventional and molecular approaches

This 43rd volume of RAP includes a total of seven articles based on talks presented at the 50th Anniversary meeting of the PSNA, which was held at the Fairmont Orchid, in Waikoloa, Hawai’i, USA. These seven Perspectives give a very good picture of the breadth of plant (bio)chemistry research in North America, which is also indicative of the state of the field worldwide. Each of these articles describes the integration of several different approaches to ask and then answer interesting questions regarding the function of interesting plant metabolites, either in the plant itself or in interactions with the environment (natural setting or human health application). Two Perspectives outline very clearly the power of approaching biological questions from a modern, “omics” or systems biology approach. Beale and Ward outline how metabolomics approaches can be brought to bear on plant biosynthetic questions and quickly lead to important advances in our understanding or how plants produce important metabolites. Zandkarimi et al. outline the integration of ion mobility spectrometry into mass spectrometry-based metabolomics investigations and show clearly how powerful those two spectrometric technologies can be when used together.

Natural Products: Discourse, Diversity andDesign provides an informative and accessible overview ofdiscoveries in the area of natural products in the genomic era,bringing together advances across the kingdoms. As genomicsdata makes it increasingly clear that the genomes of microbes andplants contain far more genes for natural product synthesis thanhad been predicted from the numbers of previously identifiedmetabolites, the potential of these organisms to synthesize diversenatural products is likely to be far greater than previouslyenvisaged. Natural Products addresses notonly the philosophical questions of the natural role of thesemetabolites, but also the evolution of single and multiplepathways, and how these pathways and products may be harnessed toaid discovery of new bioactives and modes of action. Edited by recognized leaders in the fields of plant andmicrobial biology, bioorganic chemistry and natural productschemistry, and with contributions from researchers at top labsaround the world, Natural Products isunprecedented in its combination of disciplines and the breadth ofits coverage. Natural Produces: Discourse, Diversity andDesign will appeal to advanced students andexperienced researchers, from academia to industry, in diverseareas including ecology, industrial biotechnology, drug discovery,medicinal chemistry, agronomy, crop improvement, and naturalproduct chemistry.

Besides, recently molecular biology has assumed great importance with respect to plant biotechnology. The present book amalgamates all three aspects into one, practical applications of various techniques being the need of the hour. It discusses micropropagation studies on several crop plants, molecular basis of understanding various life processes including molecular basis of somatic embryogenesis and other physiological and biochemical processes having significant biotechnological applications. It also includes in vitro studies of some important plants like Aloe vera, Simmondsia chinensis, Anacyclus pyrethrum and Crataeva nurvala, Arachis hypogaea L., Phoenix dactylifera, Dendrocalamus asper, Asparagus adescendens Roxb., natural products of plant origin with their therapeutic potential and biotechnological production, genome analysis of crop plants with future applications in biotechnology etc.
