Modern Applications of Plant Biotechnology in Pharmaceutical Sciences

Modern Applications of Plant Biotechnology in Pharmaceutical Sciences explores advanced techniques in plant biotechnology, their applications to pharmaceutical sciences, and how these methods can lead to more effective, safe, and affordable drugs. The book covers modern approaches in a practical, step-by-step manner, and includes illustrations, examples, and case studies to enhance understanding. Key topics include plant-made pharmaceuticals, classical and non-classical techniques for secondary metabolite production in plant cell culture and their relevance to pharmaceutical science, edible vaccines, novel delivery systems for plant-based products, international industry regulatory guidelines, and more. Readers will find the book to be a comprehensive and valuable resource for the study of modern plant biotechnology approaches and their pharmaceutical applications. Builds upon the basic concepts of cell and plant tissue culture and recombinant DNA technology to better illustrate the modern and potential applications of plant biotechnology to the pharmaceutical sciencesProvides detailed yet practical coverage of complex techniques, such as micropropogation, gene transfer, and biosynthesisExamines critical issues of international importance and offers real-life examples and potential solutions INDICE: Plant biotechnologyPharmaceutical applications of plant biotechnologyPlant tissue cultureBasic concepts and techniques used in Plant tissue culturePlant tissue culture laboratoryOrganogenesis and somatic embryogenesisClassical and non-classical techniques for secondary metabolite production in plant cell cultureBiotransformationPrecursor feedingElicitationPlant cell ImmobilizationPlant genetic engineeringHairy root cultureMicropropagation of medicinal plants and crop improvementEdible VaccinesArtificial seedsGermplasm conservationBioreactorsMicro-environments in micropropagationIndustriesLawsRecent Advances
