In: Springer eBooksSummary: This book on medicinal plant biotechnology covers recent developments in this field including a comprehensive up to date survey on established medicinal plants and on molecules which gained importance in recent years. The contributing scientists have been selected on the basis of their involvement in the related plant material as evident by the internationally recognised published work. Bioactive molecules such as taxol, classes of compounds such as phytoestrogen and plant materials such as Rhodiola have all been included.
