Plant-based therapies are in tune with nature and have relatively little or no side effects. World Health Organisation (WHO) is a strong advocate of herbal inputs in modern systems of medicine. This book contains detailed descriptions of 23 medicinal plants with antiviral properties. The molecules from these plants are known to be effective against viruses. For instance, alkaloids like perivine, pericalline, periformyline, leurocristine, leurosivine, vincaleukoblastine, perividine, vindolinine, and carosine derived from Catharanthus roseus, are effective against viruses like herpes simplex virus type 1, vaccinia virus, poliovirus, and dengue virus type 2 (DENV-2). Large amounts of pentacycli...
This book discusses the latest developments in plant-mediated fabrication of metal and metal-oxide nanoparticles, and their characterization by using a variety of modern techniques. It explores in detail the application of nanoparticles in drug delivery, cancer treatment, catalysis, and as antimicrobial agent, antioxidant and the promoter of plant production and protection. Application of these nanoparticles in plant systems has started only recently and information is still scanty about their possible effects on plant growth and development. Accumulation and translocation of nanoparticles in plants, and the consequent growth response and stress modulation are not well understood. Plants exp...
Therapeutic properties of bamboo have been known since ancient times as a part of several traditional systems of medicine and folk remedies in different parts of the world. Bamboo contains several active phytochemicals and minerals known for antioxidative and cardioprotective properties. This book is a comprehensive guide on botanical, ethnomedicinal, and pharmacological aspects of several medicinally active bamboo species. Exploring Medicinal Bamboos focuses on phytochemically active ingredients of bamboos imparting therapeutic potentials to each species. There are dedicated chapters on species such as Bambusa spp., Lophatherum gracile, Sasa senanensis, Melocanna baccifera, and Phyllostachy...
There has been a surge in critical situations such as malnutrition, agricultural productivity, viral diseases, noncommunicable diseases, antibiotic resistance, and depletion of natural resourcest hreatening human welfare during the last decade. Fortunately, a parallel unprecedented growth and development have also taken place in various biotechnological sectors, giving hope and direction to meet these challenges. This book has been written with a very clear purpose of highlighting the contributions of modern biotechnology in solving emerging problems in various sectors. It has been divided into four major sections: Agricultural Biotechnology, Healthcare Biotechnology, Environmental Biotechno...
This book explores the most recent advances in medicinal plant conservation and improvement through genetic transformation. It presents a compendium of topics related to conservation for sustainable utilization of important medicinal and aromatic plants, plant tissue culture interventions, genetic engineering tools for plant transformation, and transgenics for improved traits in the medicinally active plant species. Advancements in the areas of medicinal plants’ nuclear and chloroplast engineering, stress tolerance, metabolite production, DNA barcoding, etc. have been carefully intertwined to offer novelty for the readers. The book caters to the interests of plant biologists, biotechnologi...
