Opis

"Medicinal and Aromatic Plants XII "comprises 18 chapters. It deals with the distribution, importance, conventional propagation, micropropagation, tissue culture studies, and the in vitro production of important medicinal and pharmaceutical compounds in the following plants: "Artemisia" "annua, Coriandrum sativum, Crataegus, Dionaea muscipula, " "Hyoscyamus reticulatus, Hypericum canariense, "Leguminosae, "Malva, " "Ocimum, Pergularia" "tomentosa, Phellodendron amurense, " "Sempervivum, Solanum" "aculeatissimum, S. chrysotrichum, S. " "kasianum, Stephania, " "Trigonella, "and" Vaccinium." It is tailored to the needs of advanced students, teachers, and research scientists in the fields of pharmacy, plant tissue culture, phytochemistry, biomedical engineering, and plant biotechnology in general.
