Full Description
Plants play a crucial role in providing food, medicine, agrochemicals, fragrances, flavors, cosmetics, fine chemicals, and nutraceuticals, which are essential for human development. Research on plants and their potential for producing new value-added products has generated considerable interest among scholars and researchers. This book, which features 21 excellent research articles, highlights the current scenario and importance of commercially valuable plant species, including those with domestic and industrial value. The book covers a range of topics, such as the highly prized plant species Bunium persicum, Dysoxylum binectariferum, Magnolia campbellii, Morchella esculenta, Tinospora cordifolia, Woodfordia fructicosa, Plantago ovata, the Nobel Prize-winning plant Artemisia annua, Spinifex littoreus, tissue culture-raised banana, plant growth-promoting bacteria, systematic studies of starch grains, scientific propagation techniques for plant improvement, sustainability of Mucuna pruriens, and phytochemical screening of Eulaliopsis binata, Himalayan rhododendrons, Cyperus pangorei, and Vigna radiata. In addition, the book discusses the chemical constituents, uses, and diversity of aromatic plants, which are valued for their aromatherapy, flavor, and fragrance. The compilation of current investigation reports on biological, chemical, pharmacological, and clinical parameters will contribute to discovering new leads for product development from plants. As the reader will note, this book represents a diverse collection of views, reflecting the various sciences and interests that have enabled thoughtful deliberations for future prospects.
