Author Description

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.
