Advances in Plant Tissue Culture: Current Developments and Future Trends provides a complete and up-to-date text on all basic and applied aspects of plant tissue cultures and their latest application implications. It will be beneficial for students and early-career researchers of plant sciences and plant/agricultural biotechnology. Plant tissue culture has emerged as a sustainable way to meet the requirements of fresh produces, horticultural crops, medicinal or ornamental plants. Nowadays, plant tissue culture is an emerging filed applied in various aspects, including sustainable agriculture, plant breeding, horticulture and forestry.

This book covers the latest technology, broadly applied for crop improvement, clonal propagation, Somatic hybridization Embryo rescue, Germplasm conservation, genetic conservation, or for the preservation of endangered species. However, these technologies also play a vital role in breaking seed dormancy over conventional methods of conservation.

This volume explores the fascinating world of plant-based bioactive compounds that have influenced healthcare systems across centuries. From ancient Ayurvedic and Chinese traditions to modern biotechnology, it reveals how nature’s pharmacy continues to inspire the development of medicines, nutraceuticals, and cosmeceuticals. It highlights the incredible diversity of medicinal plants and their secondary metabolites, such as alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, and glycosides, which have led to the discovery of many important therapeutic agents. The text emphasizes the growing importance of medicinal plants in the post-COVID era, reflecting the global shift toward sustainable and holistic health solutions. Blending traditional wisdom with advancements in genomics, metabolomics, molecular markers, and gene editing, it illustrates how biotechnology is reshaping plant-based drug discovery. This work serves as a valuable resource for researchers and professionals committed to uniting nature’s legacy with modern scientific progress.
