27 chapters cover the distribution, economic importance,
conventional propagation, micropropagation, tissue culture
studies, and in vitro production of important medicinal and
other pharmaceutical compounds in various species of
Anchusa, Brucea, Catharanthus, Chrysanthemum, Coleus,
Corydalis, Coreopsis, Emilia, Ginkgo, Gloriosa, Hypericum,
Inonotus, Leucosceptrum, Lilium, Linum, Mosses, Nandina,
Penstemon, Prunus, Pteridium, Quassia, Ribes, Senecio,
Taraxacum, Thermopsis, Vanilla, and Vitiveria.
Like the previous five volumes on medicinal and aromatic
plants (Volumes 4, 7, 15, 21, and 24), this book contains a
wealth of useful information for advanced students and
researchers in the field of plant biotechnology and chemical
engineering, pharmacy, botany and tissue culture.
