Biotechnology, Multiple Omics, and Precision Breeding in Medicinal Plants (PDF)

By Jen-Tsung Chen
Biotechnology, Multiple Omics, and Precision Breeding in Medicinal Plants explores the various methods for advancing medicinal plant research. It covers a wide range of approaches, including integrated and advanced plant biotechnology, mutagenesis, nanotechnology, genome-wide association studies, multiple omics tools, and high-throughput technologies. The book highlights the significant impact of combining pan-genomics with metabolomics in medicinal plant research, particularly in understanding how genetic diversity influences the profiles of secondary metabolites and the therapeutic potential of these plants.
FEATURES:

Explores ways to improve the production of secondary metabolites and bioactive compounds in key medicinal plants
Features information on bioinformatics, artificial intelligence models, molecular markers, and genome editing techniques such as CRISPR-assisted precision breeding
Promotes specific prebiotic formulas to ward off adverse effects of antibiotics
Covers information on epigenetic regulation in boosting secondary metabolite production and the use of speed breeding combined with high-throughput technologies

Proposing a multitude of technologies and methodologies in plant biotechnology with focus on enhancing the production of secondary metabolites and bioactive compounds from medicinal plants, this book is an ideal resource for researchers and academia in plant sciences/breeding, agriculture, and horticulture industries.
