Provides up-to-date information on the application of biotechnological tools to explore the potentials of climbers
The chapters on micropropagation, synthetic seed production and bioactive compounds production in vitro are of great significance in the conservation and replenishment strategies, as well as for the pharmaceutical and micropropagation industries
The information on the use of molecular markers in quality assessment and transgenic plant production provide a platform for further advance research
The book provides an overview on adoption of biotechnological approaches for the conservation, micropropagation, synseed production of various medicinal and ornamental climbers. The work includes a brief chapter on evolution and diversification of climbers. Other chapters give insights on protocols for in vitro propagation and synseed production of selected threatened medicinal and ornamental climbers. Informative chapter on the production of bioactive compound and their enhancement through genetic transformation and elicitation have been incorporated to cover latest advancement in the field of plant biotechnology. This book also explores the use of molecular marker technique for the desired improvement/magnification of medicinal and aesthetic value of climbing plants.
