Description
Secondary Metabolites and Biotherapeutics presents the latest biotechnological advancements in the production of target secondary metabolites for medicinal use, including topics such as transcriptomics, nanotechnology, gene editing tools like CRISPR/CAS, secondary metabolites source and production. Secondary metabolites derived from plants as a response to stress have always played a vital role in the pharmaceutical industry to produce medicines. However, their limited production in plants have always raised concerns for large-scale production. With the advancement of modern biotechnology, researchers around the globe are now able to engineer plants with specific chemical compositions.This book is a valuable resource to researchers in biotechnology, medical sciences, pharmaceutical biotechnology, pharmacology and plant biology.- Provides updates in the field of secondary metabolite used in therapy - Covers the latest biotechnological advancements in the production of target secondary metabolites for the purpose of medicinal use - Elucidates the medicinal value of the plants used traditionally by different ethnic groups for treating various disorders - Presents the medicinal value of endophytes
