Biofabrication and Synthetic Biology in Medicinal Plants: Advances in Biotechnology and Breeding introduces readers to the technological advances in medicinal plants for improving plant-based bio drugs. Chapters cover various aspects of bio fabrication, synthetic biology as well as advance biotechnology- based breeding in medicinal plants. These technologies are very well explored in crop plants but not well studied in medicinal plants. Medicinal plants have enormous therapeutic compounds traditionally used in various cultures for the treatment of many diseases and health conditions. These plants produce a wide range of bioactive compounds including terpenoids, flavonoids, alkaloids and phenolic compounds which exhibit pharmacological effects on the human body. Medicinal and aromatic plant-based medicines have been used for centuries and continue to play a significant role in human healthcare. Advances in this area recently hold promise for addressing unmet medical needs, improving healthcare outcomes, and promoting sustainable approach to health and wellness of human population worldwide. Biofabrication and Synthetic Biology in Medicinal Plants: Advances in Biotechnology and Breeding is written by international experts in the field for a diverse audience of scientific researchers, early career professionals, students and experts working in the field of synthetic biology of medicinal plants.Covers a wode range of topics from plant extraction methods to bioactive compound identification and the application of genetic engineering in plant-based medicineIncludes how traditional remedies are being scientifically validated, as well as how synthetic biology techniques are being used to enhance the production and efficacy of medicinal compoundsCase studies and examples illustrate how traditional approaches to synthetic biology are applied in real-world scenarios

Research into plant‑based antifungals offers a viable alternative to discover potent, eco‑friendly, and sustainable treatments. Natural antifungal compounds offer a promising solution, as they tend to have fewer side effects and reduced risk of resistance development compared to synthetic alternatives. This book delves into the application of metagenomics in identifying and harnessing the microbial communities associated with medicinal plants. By integrating bioprospecting techniques with cutting‑edge genomic technologies, this work opens up promising new avenues to provide insights into the potential of natural products for developing novel antifungal therapies.Key Features:• Combines bioprospecting, microbiology, plant science, and genomic technologies to unlock the therapeutic potential of medicinal plants for antifungal applications.• Contains comprehensive coverage of metagenomics tools and advanced bioprocessing methods.• Covers the practical applications for drug development and sustainable solutions for emerging fungal threats.• Addresses the urgent global health challenge posed by emerging and resistant fungal pathogens, providing new strategies and potential solutions through the bioprospecting of plant-associated microbes.• Provides an innovative approach to antifungal discovery and focuses on emerging fungal infections.
