Biofabrication and Synthetic Biology in Medicinal Plants: Advances in Biotechnology and Breeding presents recent technological advances for enhancing medicinal plants as sources of plant-based biopharmaceuticals. It covers biofabrication, synthetic biology, modern biotechnological tools, and innovative breeding strategies tailored for medicinal plant improvement. While these technologies are well established in crop plants, their application in medicinal plants remains underexplored. Medicinal plants are rich sources of therapeutic compounds traditionally used across cultures to treat a wide range of diseases and health conditions. These plants produce diverse bioactive molecules, including terpenoids, flavonoids, alkaloids, and phenolics, many of which exhibit significant pharmacological potential. For centuries, medicinal and aromatic plants have played a vital role in human healthcare and continue to be valued globally. Recent advances in synthetic biology, metabolic engineering, and biotechnology promise to enhance the production, quality, and efficacy of these bioactive compounds, addressing unmet medical needs and contributing to sustainable healthcare. This book compiles insights from leading experts, offering a comprehensive reference for researchers, early-career scientists, students, and professionals working in medicinal plant biotechnology and breeding.. Explores topics from plant extraction and bioactive compound identification to genetic engineering applications in plant-based medicine. Highlights scientific validation of traditional remedies and the use of synthetic biology to improve compound production and efficacy. Includes case studies illustrating real-world applications of synthetic biology in medicinal plants. Identifies opportunities and challenges in applying biotechnology and breeding to lesser-known medicinal and aromatic species

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.
