Medicinal and Aromatic Plants II

by Y. P. S. Bajaj

Overview

Treating the secondary metabolites in cell cultures of plants with potentialuse in the pharmaceutical industry,
this volume concentrates on the individual plant species,
their distribution, economic importance, conventional propagation and storage of germplasm. Special emphasis is laid on the potentials of industrial in vitro production of compoundsof medical and pharmaceutical relevance.
