商品描述

This contributed volume provides a comprehensive, in-depth and subject-based reviews on the current status of active ingredients, sustainable use, biodiversity and conservation of certain endangered medicinal plants. The book also explores conventional and non-conventional biotechnological interventions for their biodiversity conservation. Medicinal plants have been used in worldwide as a major source of raw material for the traditional herbal healthcare practices as well as for drug discovery and development in pharmaceutical industry. The cumulative consequences of various human activities and environmental factors cause decline in the biodiversity of medicinal plants at an unprecedented rate worldwide. Thus, the overall understanding of ecology, species and genetic diversity along with assessment of the status of different threats and their impact on medicinal plants is crucial to sustain existing biodiversity, its utilization and conservation. All the latest advancements in the biotechnological approaches for the conservation research of endangered medicinal plants and the future perspectives have been described. This book provides comprehensive reviews spreading over about 25 chapters divided in three sections. The chapters of this book are written by recognized scientists in their respective fields which are useful to students, academicians, researchers, botanists, biotechnologists, policy makers, conservationists and industries interested in biodiversity conservation and medicinal plant research for the production of secondary metabolites.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書是一部綜合性、深入且以主題為基礎的專著，對某些瀕危藥用植物的活性成分、可持續利用、生物多樣性及保護現狀進行了全面的評估。書中還探討了傳統與非傳統的生物技術介入措施，以促進其生物多樣性的保護。藥用植物在全球範圍內被廣泛用作傳統草藥保健實踐的主要原料來源，以及製藥行業中的藥物發現與開發。各種人類活動和環境因素的累積影響，導致藥用植物的生物多樣性以空前的速度下降。因此，對生態學、物種及遺傳多樣性的全面理解，以及對不同威脅狀況及其對藥用植物影響的評估，對於維持現有的生物多樣性、其利用及保護至關重要。本書描述了在瀕危藥用植物保護研究中生物技術方法的最新進展及未來展望。本書共分為三個部分，涵蓋約25章的綜合評述。各章由各自領域的知名科學家撰寫，對學生、學者、研究人員、植物學家、生物技術專家、政策制定者、保護工作者及對生物多樣性保護和藥用植物研究有興趣的產業人士均有幫助，特別是在次級代謝物生產方面。

作者簡介

Professor. Sumita Jha (nee Mukherjee), FNASc., FWAST, received her M.Sc. (1975) and Ph.D. (1981) from the University of Calcutta, Kolkata. She joined the same University as UGC Research Scientist in 1985 and as a faculty member in Botany in 1990. She was appointed Associate Professor in 1993 and became Professor in 2001. She has been involved in teaching courses on plant biology, molecular genetics, and biotechnology. Prof. Jha's group has developed transgenic cell and organ cultures in a number of rare, endangered indigenous medicinal plants for the production of high-value pharmaceuticals.

Dr. Mihir Halder, Assistant Professor in the Post Graduate Department of Botany, Barasat Government College, West Bengal, India, received his B.Sc. with honors in Botany (2007) from Presidency College, Kolkata and M. Sc. in Botany (2009) from University of Calcutta, India. He was awarded Ph.D. in Biochemistry (2017) from University of Calcutta. He is actively engaged in teaching courses on Genetics, Cell and Molecular Biology and Plant Biotechnology for over seven years. His research interest includes medicinal plant biotechnology and cytogenetics.
