Nature is the most potent source of cure and care. With the advent of the ‘herbal renaissance,’ the dependence on medicinal plants has increased in all spheres ranging from their use as raw material for medicinal, nutraceutical, cosmetic preparations, and food. The tissue culture technique has proven to be extremely advantageous not only for large-scale propagation of medicinal plants in a limited space and time, but also for conservation, storage for prolonged use, genetic improvement, and metabolite production. This book describes in detail the different methods of plant tissue culture that have been employed for the mass production of medicinal plants. The chapters on methods of organogenesis, embryogenesis, haploid plant production, virus-free medicinal plant production, and so forth will be of interest to a wide range of readers. Dedicated chapters on the tissue culture of high-altitude medicinal plants, cannabis and so on are some of the book's highlights. The book also discusses the implementation of advanced biotechnological interventions such as the production of phytochemicals, cryopreservation, nanotechnology, and bioinformatics in medicinal plant studies. With contributions from world-leading specialists in plant tissue culture, the knowledge presented in this book will aid in the translation of plant tissue culture techniques for the production and improvement of medicinal plants. The information presented has the potential to be utilized for commercial production and formulations.Key features:Comprehensive guide for tissue culture systems as potential methods for the production of clones, new varieties, improved germplasms, haploids, and in vitro preservation of medicinal plantsElaborates on standardization of in vitro systems for propagation and transplantation of important medicinal plants and enhanced secondary metabolite productionEnriches the understanding of advanced technologies like cryopreservation, bioinformatics, and nanotechnology in medicinal plants tissue culture

This book gives a detailed insight into the implementation of nanotechnology in plant biotechnology studies. The field of plant biotechnology deals with plant conservation, propagation, improvement, and sustainable utilization through advanced techniques like plant tissue culture and genetic engineering. While different strategies of plant tissue culture techniques have been long utilized for plant propagation and improvement, there is a need for continuous upgradation and implementation of novel techniques in a plant tissue culture system. This is essential to cater to the growing demand for plant-based products in global market, dwindling natural plant populations, shrinking of land for plant growth, and a contrasting rise in dependence on plants for sustenance of life. This has led to exploring nanotechnological interventions in plant biotechnology by incorporating nanoparticles in a plant tissue culture system, thereby enhancing plant growth, development, hardening, metabolite synthesis, genetic transformation, etc., under in vitro conditions. The book covers a range of topics related to nanoparticle utilization in plant propagation and improvement systems, which will be of interest to plant biotechnologists and botanists. Those working in the field of chemistry and phytochemistry will find special sections of biosynthesis of different nanoparticles for use in plant-based research, their use in enhancing bioactive production, and phytotoxicity. Further, molecular biologists will find topics related to genetic transformation and stress tolerance in plants very useful.
